Answer 1

Let's form some equations:

I'll refer to Joyal's age as 'x'

Therefore, his mother's age is '3x'

Here is the equation we create:

x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 66

Simplify this:

4x + 10 = 66

- 10 from both sides:

4x = 56

/4 on both sides

x = 14

3(14) = 42

So, currently Joyal is 14 and his mother is 42
