Answer:
The present age of Joyal is 14 years.
The present age of Joyal's mother is 42 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let J denotes the age of Joyal
Let M denotes the age of Joyal's mother
The present age of Joyal’s mother is three times the present age of joyal.
Mathematically,
M = 3J
After 5 years their ages will add up to 66
Mathematically,
(M + 5) + (3J + 5) = 66
M + J + 10 = 66
M + J = 66 - 10
M + J = 56
But we know that M = 3J
3J + J = 56
4J = 56
J = 56/4
J = 14 years
So the present age of Joyal is 14 years.
M = 3J
M = 3(14)
M = 42 years
So the present age of Joyal's mother is 42 years.
