You can put this solution on YOUR website! When Jessy was 12, her mother was 35. Now, her mother is twice her age. How old is Jessy?
An older person is twice as old as a younger person when the younger person is
the same age the older person was when the younger person was born.
Jessy's mother is 35-12 or 23 years older than Jessy. So Jessy's mother was
23 when Jessy was born. So Jessy is now 23 and her mother is 46.
