Question

a boy is 32 years younger than his mother. If five years ago their sum of their ages was 54 years. Then the age of mother after 12 years will be?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let boy's age be x and mother's be x+32

5 years ago

x-5+(x+32)-5= 54

x+x+22=54

2x = 32

x =16

mother's age is 48 ( 5 years back )

after 12 years mother's age is 60 tears( if we shouldn't add 5 cause it was 5 years back)

it's 65 when we calculate it from present
