Question

1. la señora Treviño tiene el doble de edad que su

hijo hace 9 años la suma de su edades era 30
¿cual es su edad actual?

Answer 1

Daughter age = x = 16 years old

Mother's age = 2x = 2 × 16 = 32 years

Explanation:

The computation of their current age is shown below:

Let us assume that the current age of the daughter is x

And, the current age of the mother be 2x

Now nine years ago, their ages would be

daughter age is x - 9

And, the mother age would be 2x - 9

Now the equation would be

x - 9 + 2x - 9 = 30

3x - 18 = 30

3x = 30 + 18

3x = 48

x = 48 ÷ 3

x = 16.

Therefore

Daughter age = x = 16 years old

Mother's age = 2x = 2 × 16 = 32 years
