Question

Mother's age is 4 years more than twice her daughter's age. The sum of mother's age and daughter's age is 52 years. Find their ages. Explain with steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of daughter=x

Age of mother =2x+4

According to the question

x+2x+4=52

3x=52-4

x=48÷3

X=16

So daughter's age =16

Mothers age = 2×16+4 =32+4=36

Answer 2

Given :-

• Mother's age is 4 years more than twice her daughter's age. The sum of mother's age and daughter's age is 52 years.

To find :-

• Mother's and daughter's ages

Solution :-

Let the daughter age be x

Mother's age is 4 years more than twice her daughter's age

• Mother's age = 2x + 4

The sum of mother's age and daughter's age is 52 years

According to the given condition

→ Mother's age + daughter's age = 52

→ 2x + 4 + x = 52

→ 3x + 4 = 52

→ 3x = 52 - 4

→ 3x = 48

→ x = 48/3

→ x = 16

Hence,

• Daughter's age = x = 16 years

• Mother's age = 2x + 4 = 2*16 + 4 = 36 years
