Let's assume the age of the son is x.
Therefore, the age of the father is 4x.
The sum of their ages is given as 40.
x + 4x = 40
5x = 40
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 40/5
x = 8
So, the age of the son is 8.
The age of the father is 4 * 8 = 32.
Therefore, the son is 8 years old and the father is 32 years old.
