after 5 years both age become 5 years more so 50+5+5=60
7x+ x= 60
x= 60/8=7.5
7x= 7.5×7=52.5
present age = 2.5 and 47.5
I guess!

Answer:
Let the age of daughter be x years.
Then, the age of mother will be (50 - x) years.
According to Question now,
➳ 7(x - 5) = 50 - x - 5
➳ 7x - 35 = 45 - x
➳ 7x + x = 45 + 35
➳ 8x = 80
➳ x = 10 years
Therefore,
- Present Age of daughter = x = 10 years
- Present Age of mother = 50 - x = 40 years.
