Question

Vernice did not want to tell her age, so when she was asked, her mother answered for her. Her mother said, “I am double her age plus 10.
In ten years’ time she will be half my age. How old is Vernice?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Vernice age be x

Her mother's age be 2x+10

10=1\2(2x+10) = 10×2=2x+10

20=2x+10

20-10=2x

10=2x

x=5
