Question

2 A boy is half his mother’s age now. Ten years ago, he was one-third his mother’s age then. What are their present ages?

Answer 1

Answer:

mother= 40years

Step-by-step explanation:

let boy age = x

let mother age = 2x

Ten years ago,

(x-10) = 1/3 (2x-10)

3x-30 = 2x-10

x = 20

boy age = x = 20

mother age = 2x = 40
