Question

mrs goel is 27 years old than her daughter rekha. after 8 years she will be twice as old as rekha




​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rekha's age = x

Mrs Goel's age = x + 27

Rekha's age after 8 years = x + 8

Mrs Goel's age after 8 years = x + 27 + 8

= x + 35

According to the question Mrs Goel's age after 8 years = 2 (x + 8)

2 (x + 8) = x + 35

2x + 2 × 8 = x + 35

2x + 16 = x + 35

2x - x = 35 - 16

x = 19

Hence, Rekha's age = 19 years

AND

Mrs Goel's age = x + 27

= 19 + 27

= 46 years
