Answer:

Let shaman, s mother age be 7x

and shamam age be x

and shaman age age will be x+2

Now according to problem

1/5(7x+2)=x+2

after solving we get mother age =28 years and sons age =4 year

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Shamam's mother's present age be = 7x

Shamam's age be = x + 1/5 ( as per the question the equation should equal)

EQUATION*

7x = x + 1/5

7x - x = 1/5

6x = 1/5

x = 1/5×6

x = 1/30

x = 30
