Question

Margaret is 8 years more than twice the age of his son. The age of son is 12. Find the age of mother and find the difference between their ages.

Answer 1

Age of Mother = 32yrs; Difference between their ages = 20

Let, age of son x=12
Margaret is 8 years more than twice the age of his son, y = 8+2(x)
=8+2(12)
=8+24
=32yrs
Difference = 32 - 12
=20yrs
