$Solution:$

Let son's age be 'x' years

And her mother's age be 'y' years

y = 5x

After 5 years,

y + 5 = 3(x+5)

y - 3x = 10

2x = 10, x = 5

So,

y = 5x = 25

Hence, son's age is 5 years and her mother's age is 25 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

m=5s

• m-5s=0

five years later

m+5=3(s+5)

m+5=3s+15

• m-3s=10

simplify the both eqns

s=5

m=25
