Let the age of the boy be x
Therefore the age of the mother will be (x+26)
According to question :
x+x+26 = 50
or, 2x = 50 - 26
or, 2x = 24
or, x = 12
So, the age of the boy and his mother are 12 and 38 years respectively
Therefore the age of the mother will be (x+26)
According to question :
x+x+26 = 50
or, 2x = 50 - 26
or, 2x = 24
or, x = 12
So, the age of the boy and his mother are 12 and 38 years respectively
If the boys age is 12 or x then , Mothers age = x+26 =12=26=38 years
