Let 'x' be Shobo's present age.
Shobo's mother's present age would be 6x.
After 5 years:
x+5=1/3*6x.
We can find Shobo's present age by finding the value of x.
x+5=6x/3.
Transposing /3 from RHS to LHS making it *3:
3(x+5)=6x.
3x+15=6x.
Transposing 3x from LHS to RHS making it -3x:
15=6x-3x.
15=3x.
Transposing *3 from RHS to LHS making is /3:
15/3=x.
5=x.
Therefore the value of x is 5.
Shobo's present age is 5.
His mother's present age is 5x=6(5)=30.
