Question

Mrs. Kwok is 6 years more than 3 times as old as her son. Six years ago, she was 14 year more than twice as old as her son was then. Find both of their ages.

Answer 1

Mrs. Kwok is 42.

Her daughter is 12.

Step-by-step explanation: Mrs. Knok's age = x Daughter's age = y

x-6=3y , (x-8)+2=9(y-8)

x-6=9y-72

(x-6)-(x-6) = (9y-72)-(3y) x-6=3(12)

0 = 6y-72 x-6=36

6y=72 x=42

y=12

Answer 2

She’s 28? While her son is 10?
