Let the son's current age be x and the woman's current age be 3x.
In 10 years, the sum of their ages will be 76, so:
(x + 10) + (3x + 10) = 76
4x + 20 = 76
4x = 56
x = 14
The son is currently 14 years old, so the woman is 3 * 14 = 42 years old.
The woman was 42 when her son was born, which means she is currently 42 - 14 = 28 years older than her son.
A woman is now three time as old as his son in 10 years time the sum of their ages will be 76 how old was the women when her son was born
