Answer:
Son = 12 years
Mother = 42 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of son 6 years before be x
Let the mother's age 6 years before be x
Let the present age of son be x + 6
Let the present age of mother be x + 6
Let the age of son after 3 years = x + 6 + 3 = x + 9
Let the age of mother after 3 years = x + 6 + 3 = x + 9
According to the question,
x + 9 = 3(x + 9)
x + 9 = 3x + 27
x = 3x + 27 - 9
x = 3x + 18
x - 3x - 18 = 0
x - 6x + 3x - 18 = 0
x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6) = 0
(x - 6) (x + 3) = 0
x = 6 or x = -3
Taking x = 6 as the other value is '-' (minus)
Finding the present age of son and mother:
Present age of son => x +
=> 6 + 6
=> 12 years
Present age of mother => x + 6
=> (6) + 6
=> 36 + 6
=> 42 years
∴ The present ages of son and his mother are 12 years and 42 years respectively.
Son = 12 years
Mother = 42 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of son 6 years before be x
Let the mother's age 6 years before be x^{2}2
Let the present age of son be x + 6
Let the present age of mother be x^{2}2 + 6
Let the age of son after 3 years = x + 6 + 3 = x + 9
Let the age of mother after 3 years = x^{2}2+ 6 + 3 = x^{2}2 + 9
According to the question,
x^{2}2 + 9 = 3(x + 9)
x^{2}2 + 9 = 3x + 27
x^{2}2 = 3x + 27 - 9
x^{2}2 = 3x + 18
x^{2}2 - 3x - 18 = 0
x^{2}2 - 6x + 3x - 18 = 0
x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6) = 0
(x - 6) (x + 3) = 0
x = 6 or x = -3
Taking x = 6 as the other value is '-' (minus)
Finding the present age of son and mother:
Present age of son => x +
=> 6 + 6
=> 12 years
Present age of mother => x^{2}2 + 6
=> (6^{2}2 ) + 6
=> 36 + 6
=> 42 years
∴ The present ages of son and his mother are 12 years and 42 years respectively.
