Question 890618: Shaman mother present age is 7 times shaman present age. 2 years from now shaman will be 1/5 the present age of his mother .find their present ages. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! M = 7S
M = 5(S+2)
Therefore,
7S = 5(S+2)
7S = 5S + 10
2S = 10
S = 5
If Sam is 5, then his mother is 35.
In 2 years, Sam will be 7, which is of 35.
