Answer:
16 years,44 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the assume your age be 'x' years.
Then, your mother's age = 2x + 12.
8 years hence:
your age = x + 8.
Mother's age = x + 12 + 8 = x + 20.
According to the given condition,
⇒ 3(x + 8) - 20 = 2x + 12 + 8
⇒ 3x + 24 - 20 = 2x + 20
⇒ 3x + 4 = 2x + 20
⇒ x = 16
Then:
2x + 12
= 2(16) + 12
= 32 + 12
= 44 years.
Therefore:
Your age = 16 years.
Mother's age = 44 years.
Hope it helps!
