please answer me fast​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother’s age now: x + 24

Son’s age now: x

Mothers age later: x + 28

Son’s age later: x + 4

After 4 years, x + 28 = 3 (x + 4)

x + 28 = 3x + 12

28 = 2x + 12

16 = 2x

x = 8

Therefore, son’s age is 8 years old, mother’s age is 32 years old.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the mother be 3x

Let the daughter be x

After 4 years,the sum of their ages will be 60

3x+4

x+4

Sum;3x+4+x=4=60

Collect the like terms

3x+x+4+4=60

4x+8=60

4x=60–8

4x=52

x=13

3x=39

Therefore,the mother is 39 years of age.
