Question 783194: marks mother is 32 years older than mark. the sum of their ages is 66. how old is each
Answer by Cromlix(4381) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Mark = x yrs old
Mother = x + 32 yrs old
x + (x + 32) = 66
x + x + 32 = 66
2x = 66 - 32
2x = 34
x = 17
Mark is 17 years old
Mother is 49 years old
Hope this helps.
