Question

The sum of the ages of a mother and her son is 63, six years ago the mothers age was twice as old as her son. How old is the mother now​

Answer 1

Answer:

40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine a+b=63

63-12=51 (since they were both 6 years younger)

A is double B

34+17=51

34/2=17

You need to add the 6 years back onto the mothers age - 34+6=40

40 years old
