My mother is 12 years more than twice my age. After 8 years, my mother’s age will be 20 years less than three times my age. Find my age and my mother’s age.


please ans ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let's sons age be 'x'

mother's age be will become 2x+12

after 8years

sons age =x+8

mother's age =2x+12+8

=>

$3(x + 8) - 20 = 2x + 12 + 8 \\ 3x + 24 - 20 = 2x + 20 \\ 3x + 4 = 2x + 20 \\ 3x - 2x = 20 - 4 \\ x = 16$

sons age = 16 years

mother's age = 44 years

Answer 2

Answer.:

Let my age be 'x'

Let my mom's age be '2x'

= 2x + 12

Hence,

3(x + 8) = (2x + 20) + 20

= 3x + 24 = 2x +40

=> x = 16

=> 2x + 12

My mom's age is = 44 years old.

My age is = 16 years old.
