Question

Mother is 5 Times older than Annie and Annie is younger than her mother by 28 years . Find their paresent ages.write the equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is 5x - 28 = x

Mother's present age = 5x = 5 × 7 = 35 years

Annie's present age = x = 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother's age = 5x

Annie's age = x

Annie is younger than her mother by 28 years.

5x - 28 = x

5x - x = 28

4x = 28

x = 28/4

x = 7

Mother's present age = 5x = 5 × 7 = 35 years

Annie's present age = x = 7 years

Check⇒

Annie is younger than her mother by 28 years.

Difference between their ages = 28

35 - 7 = 28

28 = 28

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, the answer is correct.
