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
