Question

b) A mother is 24 years older than her daughter. Before eight years she was seven
times as old as her daughter. Find their present ages.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Daughters present age = 4 yrs

Mothers age = 4 + 24 = 28 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ages 8 years ago:  

Mother:  7 * x years old  

Daughter:  x years old  

Current ages:

Mother: 7 * x + 8 years old

Daughter: x + 8 years old

However, we also know that the mother is 24 years older than the daughter now so currently:  

7 * x + 8 = x + 8 + 24

Solve for x and calculate their ages:

7 * x + 8 = x + 32  

6 * x = 24

x = 4
