Giselle is 24 years younger than her mother. In six years time she will be 1/4 of the age of her mother.

Find Giselles age now.

Pleas help me, I have an exam today and this was part of the revision. I'm good at maths but my brain isn't working right now lol.​

Respuesta :

Let the age of Giselle = x

Age of mother = x+24

After 6 years,

Age of Giselle = x + 6

Age of mother = x+24+6

= x + 30

[tex]4(x + 6) = x + 30 \\ 4x + 24 = x + 30 \\ 4x = x + 30 - 24 \\ 4x = x + 6 \\ 4x - x = 6 \\ 3x = 6 \\ x = \frac{6}{3} \\ \\ x = 2[/tex]

Age of Giselle now = 2

... Hope this will help....
