Question

Ammu mother age is 3 times of ammu age. if 8 added to ammu's age is equal to 16 subtracted from ammu's mother age. what is ammu's age​?

Answer 1

Let Ammu age be x
Then mothers age will be 3x .
Now , adding and subtracting as said above we can obtain equation as following :
x+8=3x-16
24=2x
12=x
Age of ammu is 12 years .
Hope it works !!

Answer 2

Answer:

ammu take. as X

ammu'S mother as Y

3(X+8)=16-y

3X+24=16-y

3X +y=16-24

3X+y=-8

3X=-8-y

X=-8-y/3

to find out ammu'S mother age

3(-8-y)/3=16-y

-24-3y=18-3y

-3y+3y=18+24

+3y and -3y get cancelled

so. y=42

to calculate Ammu'S age

3(X+8)=16-42

3X+24=26

3X=26-24

3X=2

X=3/2

so X =1.5

Ammu'S age is 1.5 and her mother's age is 42

I am not sure about my answer
