***
let x=son's age
x+27=mum's age
in 5 years:
x+5=son's age
x+27+5=mum's age
..

2x+10=x+32
x=22
how old am i ?=22

my mum was 27 years old when she gave birth to me 8 years ago she was twice as old has i would be in 5 years how old am i ****************************************** A WRONG answer, AGAIN, just like the "respondent" who replied to "Age_Word_Problems/510453" AGAIN, I am NOT 22, as the other person states. My ACTUAL/CORRECT age is 9. While this may seen trivial, this AUTHOR wonders why this "respondent," as well as the one who answered "Age_Word_Problems/510453," deem the narrator to be the mum's son!!
