Question

Mayank is 26 years younger than her mother. After 9 years,her mother will be twice as old as Mayank. How old is each now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mother's age= 43 yrs

Mayank's age= 17 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mother's age be in x

Mother's age= x

Mayank's age= x-26

after 9 yrs,

Mother's age= (x+9)yrs

Mayank's age= (x-26+9)yrs= (x-17)yrs

Mother's age= 2 times the age of Mayank

Therefore, x+9= 2(x-17)

=› x+9= 2x-34

=› x-2x= -34-9

=› -x= -43

=› x= 43

Mother's age= 43 yr

Mayank's age= (43-26= 17)yrs
