Answer:
Let us assume x years back , Sally's mom's age is 3 times of Sally's age. Hence
3(54-x) = 80-x
162-3x=80-x
162-80 = 3x-x
82=2x
x=41.
So , 41 years ago, Mothers age is 3 times of Sally's age.
When Sally's age was 13 (54-41), and her mom age was 39 (80-41).
First, how far apart in age are they? 80-54=26. With that, you can set up your equation:
Mother = Sally + 26
M=S+26, or S=M-26
M=3S when?
M=3(M-26)
M=3M-78
2M=78
M=39
hope this will help you .
