Question 932019: The girl is half the mothers age and the mother is five years less than the father. All their ages altogether is 100. What is the age of each, please show all your working. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x the mother's age
x + x/2 + (x+5) = 100
2x + x + 2(x+5) = 200
5x = 190
x = 38, the mother's age.
daughter is 19 and father is 43
And...checking
38 + 19 + 43 = 100
