Question

monica was 4 times as old as her son. after 16 years she will be twice as old as her son. find her sons present age ​

Answer 1

Answer: SONS AGE IS 8 YEARS

Step-by-step explanation: LET MONICA'S SON'S AGE BE X YEARS

so monica's age=4x years

AFTER 16 YEARS,

Monica's age= 4x+16

son's age= x+16

and, 2(x+16)=4x+16

= 2x+32=4x+16

therefore , 2x=16

x=8 years
