Question

Mrs. Wang is 23 years older than her daughter. In 5 years, their age will total 63. How old are they now?

Answer 1

let x = daughter's age
x + 23 = mrs. wang's age

in 5 years daughter's age would be x + 5
in 5 years mrs. wang's age would be x + 23 + 5

the sum of those is 63 so...

x + 5 + x + 23 + 5 = 63
2x + 33 = 63
2x = 63 - 33
2x = 30
can you solve for x?

Answer 2
