Question

DATE:
Reema's mother is four times as old as Reema . After
5 year her mother will be 3 times as old as she will
be then. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Let

Reema's mother age be 4x

Reema age be x

After 5 years

Reema's mother age be 4x + 5

Reema age be x + 5

ATQ

4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

4x + 5 = 3x + 15

4x-3x = 15 - 5

1x = 10

Reema age = 10

Reema's mother age = 4x

=4(10)

= 40

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let Reema age x than her mother age is equals to 4 x

Then,according to question after 4 years their ages will be

Reema age =x+15

Reema mother age=4x+15

4x+5=3x+15

4x -3x =15 -5

1x=10

so the value of x is20

reema age 10 years

reema mother age 40 years
