Answer:

Eric is 2 years old while his father is 35 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Eric's age

Let 33+x be father's age

x(33+x)=70

x²+33x-70=0

(x-2)(x+35)= 0

x-2=0

x=2

x+35=0

x=-35

Age cannot be negative so:

Eric is 2 years old

33+2=35

Father is 35 years old

Check:

35-2=33

35×2=70
