Question

The age of Ashwinis mother is 5 years more than twice of Ashwinis age. After 10 years her mothers age will be 8 years less than thrice her age. Find the present age of Ashwini and her mother

Answer 1

Answer:

23 and 51

Step-by-step explanation:

let Ashwini's age = x

mothers age=y

y=(2x+5) -----(1)

after 10 years ,y+10 = 3x-8 ;  y=3x-18-----(2)

by equating (1) and (2)

2x+5 = 3x-18

3x-2x =5+18

x = 23

y = (2 x 23) +5 =51
