Let the your age be x
then,
mothers age will become (2x+12)
after 8years,
Your age=x+8
mother's=(2x+12+8)
According to question
3(x+8)-20=2x+12+8
3x+24-20=2x+20
3x+4=2x+20
3x-2x=20-4
x=16
Therefore
Your age will be 16 Years
mother’s age=44years
then,
mothers age will become (2x+12)
after 8years,
Your age=x+8
mother's=(2x+12+8)
