Question

Reed's mother is now three of as old as Reema 's present age . After two years, her mother will be 10 years more than twice Reema's age . Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let reema's age = x  

Reema's mother age = 3x

After two years

Reema's age = x+2

Reema's mother age = 3x+2

As per the question

3x + 2 = 2(x+2)+10

3x+2 = 2x+4+10

3x+2 = 2x+14

x = 12
