Pls provide the whole working

Answer 1

let Pinky's age be x
and her mothers y
so y =3x+4
n x+3x+4=44
4x+4=44
4x=44-4
4x=40
x=40/4
x=10
y = 3*10+4
y= 30+4
y=34

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Pinky age be X

and her mother age be n

therefore n= 3x+4

n=x+3x+4=44

n = 4x+4=44

4x=44-4

4x=40

x=40/4

x=10

Pinky's age =10 years old

Her mother age= 3x+4

= 3*10+4

= 30+4

Her mother age = 34years old
