Question 889294: Kate is three times as old as her son. If Kate is 30 years older than her son, what are their ages? Answer by Nigelyul(18) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let Kate's age be "k"
Kate's son's age be "s"
k = 3s
k = 30 + s
3s = 30 + s
2s = 30
s = 15
k = 3(15)
k = 45
Therefore, Kate's age is 45 years old and the son's age is 15 years old.
