Question

Maria is 10years older than Sonia. 8years ago maria was 3 times Sonia's age . how old are each now?

Answer 1

Answer:

let sonia age be x

so maria age = x+10

before 8 yeara

3(x-8)=x+10-8

3x-24=x+2

3x-x = 24+2

2x = 26

x = 26/2

x = 13

so sonia age is 13 years

and maria age =13+10=23 years

now let's check

3(13-8)=23-8

39-24=15

15=15 proved
