Answer 2

Answer:

14 years later.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of years later Mary's dad becomes twice her age.

Mary's age at that time = 12+X

Mary's Dad's age at that time=38+ X

ATP,

38+X=2(12+X) Twice Mary's age is her father's.

38+X=24 + 2x

38-24=2x -x

X = 14

Checking

Mary's future age= 12+14=26

Mary's Dad's future age 38+14= 52

And 52 is twice 26 thus the answer is 14 years later.

Thankyou
