Question

I am currently 5 times as old as my daughter. In 6 years, I will be three times as old as she will be then. what are our ages now ​

Answer 1

Answer:

daughter = x

mother = 5x

After 6 years

daughter = x + 6

mother = 5x + 6

3 ( x + 6 ) = 5x + 6

3x + 18 = 5x + 6

18-6 = 5x - 3x

12 = 2x

x = 12/2

x = 6

daughter = 6years

mother = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30years
