Question 831635: Your sister is 8 years older than you. your mother is 25 years older than your sister. The Product of all three ages is 18,816, HOw old is your mother? Answer by hovuquocan1997(83) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let your age be x, so you have your sister's age is x+8, and your mother age is x+8+25 which means x + 33
Product means you have to multiply them, so you have = = =
Now you solve the equation, which will takes you almost a paper, or you can use a scientific calculator and solve it in 10 seconds, you will have 3 answers of x, but only one of them is a whole number
x = 16
Your mother age is x+33 right?
TA-DAH
Your mother age is 16+33 = 49 years old :D
