Question

My mother is three times as old as I am. If she is 24 years older than me, what are our ages?

Answer 1

Answer:

mother=36

child=12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the childs age be x

let the mothers age be y

Then we get

y=3x

y=x+24

solving the above equations

x+24 =3x

24= 2x

x=12

as we got the value of x= 6 lest substitute it

y=3x

y=3*12

y=36
