Aly's mother is NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, I repeat, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT 54 years-old.
So, this is rubbish ======> , Mother
This is an EXTREMELY SIMPLE problem to figure out. Why don't you do it? I'm sure you can come up with a correct answer, unlike Mr. ALWAYS WRONG!
FYI: You can tell Aly's age, right away
You can then calculate the brother's and then the mother's.
It's so EXTREMELY easy that one would think that a simple arithmetic problem would be easily answered by someone with ARITHMETIC as part of his/her alias!
RIDICULOUS!!! And, these people PROFESS to be tutors?
Even my 10 year-old can do this!
