Question

If Ashley's mother's age last year was 2 times of Ashley's age and the sum of their ages last year was 54 years, find Ashley's present age.​

Answer 1

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ashley's present age be x.

Her mother's age last year=2x-1

According to Question: (2x+x)-1= 54

3x-1=54

x-1=54/3

x-1=18

X=18+1

=19

Thus Ashley's present age is 19.
