Question

Harish's mother's age is 5 times harish's age. 8 years later their ages will add up to 42. find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Harish's age = 13/ 3 years

Mother's age = 65/ 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

PRESENT AGE:-

Let Harish's present age be x

Harish's mother = 5x

8 YEARS LATER:-

Harish's age = (x + 8)

Mother's age = 5x + 8

Given that, their ages 8 years later add up to 42.

∴ (x + 8) + (5x + 8) = 42

x + 8 + 5x + 8 = 42

6x + 16 = 42

6x = 26

Hairsh => x = 13/ 3

Mother => 5x = 65/ 3
