Question

The daughter's age is 5 years and the mother is 32 ears old. After x years, the mother's age will be four times that of her daughter. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Here's the required answer:-

According to the question,

4 (5+ x ) = 32 + x.

20 + 4x = 32 + x.

4x - x = 32 - 20

3x = 12

x= 12/3 = 4.

Hope this helps you...

Answer 2

Daughter's age=5 years
Mother's age=32 years
According to the question,
32+x=4(5+x)
32+x=20+4x
32-20=4x-x
12=3x
or 3x=12
or x=12/3
or x=4
Therefore,the value of x=4.
Hope it helps.
