1.	2 Bushil'is 5 years old and his mother is 28 years old. In how many years will his mother be double the age ofSushil?
Answer» Let x represent the number of years. In x years, Sushi will be 5 + x years old, and the mother will be 28 + x. At that time, the mothers age will be twice Sushi's, which gives: 28 + x = 2(5 + x) 28 + x = 10 + 2x 2x + 10 = x + 28 2x - x + 10 = 28 x + 10 = 28 x = 28 - 10 x = 18

2 Bushil'is 5 years old and his mother is 28 years old. In how many years will his mother be double the age ofSushil?

Answer»

Let x represent the number of years.

In x years, Sushi will be 5 + x years old, and the mother will be 28 + x.

At that time, the mothers age will be twice Sushi's, which gives:

28 + x = 2(5 + x)

28 + x = 10 + 2x

2x + 10 = x + 28

2x - x + 10 = 28

x + 10 = 28

x = 28 - 10

x = 18
