Answer 1

Answer:

5 years ago,

age of ellen=x

mother=7x

now,

age of ellen=x+/

mother= 7x+5

5 years from now,

age of ellen=x+5+5=x+10

mother= 7x+5+5=7x+10

$(x + 10) \times 3 = 7x + 10 \\ 3x + 30 = 7x + 10 \\ 3x + 20 = 7x \\ 7x - 3x = 20 \\ 4x = 20 \\ x = \frac{20}{4} = 5$

Ellen's age now=x+5=5+5=10

age of mother now=7x+5=7×5+5=40
