Question

Mother's age is 5 times the age of her son, after 8 years, the mother will be 3 times the age of the son, know the current age of both?

Answer 1

Answer:

son age = x

mother's age =5x

8 years after

son age = x+8

mother's age = 5x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x +8) = 3(5x + 8)

x+8 = 15x + 24

8 - 24 = 15x - ×

-16 = 14x

x = -16/14

x= -8 / 7

son age : x= -8/7

mother's age = 5x = x =5(-8/7)

x = -40/35
