Answer 2

13 years

Explanation:

Solving algebraic equation.

Frame an equation with the given statements and then solve it.

Let Benjamin's age = x years

Mother is 3 times as old as Benjamin.

⇒ Age of mother = 3 *x

It is given that age of mother is 39 years.

3* x = 39

x = 39/3

x = 13

`\sf \boxed{Benjamin's \ age = 13 \ years}`
