Question

Precocious little sally said, "Mom, the sum of our ages now is 55 years. In 4 years, you’ll be six times as old as I will be. " How old are they now?

Answer 1

mom is 38

sally is 3

Explanation:

m = mom

s = sally

m + s = 45 <-> 2022

2026 -> m = 6s

2026 -> 6s + s = 49

7s = 49

s = 7

m = 6s = 42

2022

s = 7 - 4 = 3

m = 42 - 4 = 38
