Tombi's present age is x years and her mother is thrice as old as she. ten years hence her mother will be only twice as old as she. write the mother's age 10 years hence in terms of x in two ways.
Answers
Hii,
Here is your answer ⤵️
Tombi's present age: x years.
Mother's present age 3x years.
after 10 years,
Tombi's age: x+10 years.
Mother's age : 3x+10 years.
According to question,
3x+10= 2×(x+10)
=> 3x +10 = 2x +20
=> 3x-2x =20-10
=> x=10
Tombi's present age is 10 years.
His mother's age after 10 years will be:
3x+10 = 3×10 +10 =40 years.
Or,
2(x+10) = 2x +20 = 40 years.
Your answer is :
3x +10 and 2x+20
Hope it helps....
Answer:
Tombi's mothers age after 10 years = (3x+10) years
after solving,
Tombi's mothers age after 10 years = 40 years
Step-by-step explanation:
present ages:
tombi= x years
tombi's mother= 3x years
ten years hence,
tombi's age= (x+10) years
tombi's mothers age= (3x+10) years
According to the given equation,
3x+10 = 2(x+10)
3x+10 = 2x+20
3x-2x = 20-10
x = 10
hence, tombi's mothers age after 10 years= 3x10+10
=30+10 = 40 years
