Question

1/6 of the age of a mother ia the age of her daughter. If the difference of their ages is 35 years, find the age of the mother.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the daughter's age be x

then the age of the mother =4x

...according to

question

4x-x=36

3x=36

x=36/3=12

thus

the daughter's age is x=12 yrs

and

the age of the mother is 4x=12×4=48 yrs

Answer 2

the age of a mother be x = 42 years

the age of her daughter be y = 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

here

the age of a mother be x

and the age of her daughter be y

According to the question.

x (1\6)= y.........(1)

and

x - y = 35 .........(2)

Now,

equation (1) put in equation (2) we get,

x - x(1\6)= 35

6x - x = 35x6

5x = 210

x = 210\5

x =42

the value of x put in equation (1) we get,

42\6 =y

7 =y

so the age of a mother be x = 42 years

the age of her daughter be y = 7 years
