Question 1148156
<br>
Let x be your age; then your mother's age is 2x+12.<br>
In 8 years, your age will be x+8 and your mother's age will be 2x+20.<br>
In 8 years, her age will be 20 less then 3 times yours:<br>
{{{2x+20 = 3(x+8)-20}}}<br>
Solve using basic algebra.<br>
Then remember x is your age; the question asks for your mother's age, which is 2x+12.<br>
