Sweety’s mother is 12 years more than twice Sweety’s age. After 8 years, she will be 20 years less than three times Sweety’s age. Find Sweety’s age and Sweety’s mother’s age?
+36916 s = sweety now
m = mom now = 2s + 12
in 8 years sweety = s+ 8
mom = (2s+12) + 8 = 3(s+8) - 20 solve for s
2s + 20 = 3s + 4
16 y/o = s m = 2s+12 = 2(16)+ 12 = 44 y/o
