My mother is 12 years more than twice my age.After 8 years,my mothers age will be 20 years less than 3 times my age. find my age and my mothers age,

Please answer it fast.............

Let my age be x

Then, mother's age= 2x + 12

AFTER 8 YEARS

my age = x + 8

Mother's age = 2x + 12 + 8 = 2x + 20 = 3(x + 8) - 20

2x+20+20=3x+24

2x+40=3x+24

40-24=3x-2x

16=x

Therefore

My age = 16 yrs

Mother's Age = 2(16) + 12

= 32+12

=44 yrs

  • 16

Mother's age 12

son's age 12/2 = 6 years

after 8 years

mother's age =20

son's age =6+8=14

then, the age of son is 14-3=11

the age of mother is 20+3=23
