Question

Vandanas mother age is 6 years more than twice vandnas age .if the sum of their ages 57 .find their ages

Answer 1

Let Vandanas' age be x.

Mother's age -> 2x + 6

Total -> 2x + 6 + x = 3x + 6

3x + 6 = 57

3x = 57 - 6 = 51

x = 51/3 = 17

Vandanas is 17 years old.

Mother -> 2 x 17 + 6 = 40.

Vandanas is 17 and her mother is 40 years old.

Answer 2

let vandhanas age be x

Her mothers age is 2x+6

given sum of their ages = 57

then x+2x+6=57

        3x+6=57

         3x=57-6

         3x=51

          x=51/3=17

Therefore    x=17                           vandana age = 17

                    2x+6=2(17)+6=40      Her mothers age = 40
