Answer 2

Answer:

let the age of her son be = x

and kamala age be =y

now atq

kamala is 4 times as old as her son

y=4x -(1)

5years ago their age was

kamala=y-5

son=x-5

now

5years ago her son was 1÷7 of her age.

1/7(y-5)=(x-5)

y-5=7x-35

30=7x-y -(2)

now from both the equation we have

10=x and 40=y
