Question

A mother is 5 times older than her daughter, after 5 years she would be 3 times older than her daughter, find mothers age?

Answer 1

let age of daughter be x
age of mother =5x
according to question
5x+5=3(x+5)
5x+5=3x+15
2x=10
x=5
therefore mother's age=5x=25yrs

Answer 2

$m = 5d \\ (m + 5) = 3(d + 5) \\ 5d + 5 = 3d + 15 \\ 2d = 10 \\ d = 5 \\ m = 25 \:$
hence mother's age is 25 years.
