Question 905448: My mother is 12 years more than twice my age. After 8 years, my mother's age will be 20 years less than three times my age. Find my age and my mother's age. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x your age
(2x+12) + 8 = 3(x+8) - 20
2x + 20 = 3x + 4
16 = x, your age NOW. Mother is 44
And checking... 8 years from now
52 = 3*24 - 20 = 72-20
