Question

Eve is twice as old as her son, and the difference in their ages is 23 years. Find their
ages.

Answer 1

Eve is 46 and her son is 23

Explanation:

let x be the son's age then Eve is 2x. the difference in their ages is 23 , so

2x - x = 23 , that is

x = 23

then

Eve = 2 × 23 = 46 years

son = 23 years
