Question

A mother is three times as old as her son and in eleven years she will be just twice his age find the present age of the son and mother

Answer 1

Answer: Mom = 33 Son = 11

Explanation:

A mother is three times as old as her son

Mom age =3x

AFTER 11 YEARS:

Son’s age =x+11

Mom’s age =3x+11

Also, she will be just twice his age

3x+11 = 2*(x+11)

or,3x+ 11 = 2x +22

or,3x-2x= 22–11

or, x=11

Son’s age = 11 years and mom’s age = 33 years
