$\pink{\boxed{\blue{\boxed{\purple{\boxed{{\mathfrak{Answer }}}}}}}}$

Given -:

Mother's age is 58 years.

She is 12 years more than twice of Raju's age.

To find -:

Raju's age.

Solution -:

Let Raju's age be x.

Then twice his age = 2x.

His mother is 12 years more than twice his age, then her age = 2x + 12.

As mentioned, his mother is 58 years old.

So,

2x + 12 = 58

2x = 58 - 12

2x = 46

x = 46/2

x = 23.

Hence, Raju's age is 23 years.

Hope it helps! :)

Answer 2

The answer is 23 years.
It is simple
Firstly, let x be the age of Raju
Therefore, 2x + 12 = 58
2x = 58 - 12
2x = 46
x = 46/2
x = 23
