Question

the present age of mary's mother is three times the present age of Mary after 5 years the sum of their ages will be 66 find their present ages and check your solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Marry's age = 14 years

Marry's mother's age = 42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let marry present age be x

then, the present age of Marry's mother= 3x

AFTER 5 YEARS

Marry's age = x + 5

Marry's mother's age = 3x + 5

ATQ, It's sum is 66

Therefore, x +5 + 3x +5= 66

4x + 10 = 66

4x = 56

Therefore, x = 56/4 = 14

Hence, Marry's present age = x = 14

Marry's mother age = 3x = 3*14= 42
