Question

Eva is twice the age of her son. The sum of their ages is 69. How old is Eva?


46

48

36

34

Answer 1

Let the son's age be 'x'
Eva's age is 2x

Now using the question statement, x+2x=69
3x=69

Solve for 'x', that gives us x = 23

Hence, Eva is 46

Answer 2

Son's age = s
Eva's age = 2s

2s + s = 69
3s = 69
s = 23

So Eva's age is 23(2), or 46 years old. @mubzz is right.
