If the sum of the ages of a mother & her twins equals 58, how old her the twins now?

Question

The mother was 25 at the time of their birth. How would you write out an equation for a problem like this?

Answer 1

(25+x)+2x=58

25 + 3x = 58

3x = 33

x = 11

Mom is 46

Twins are 11

Answer 2

x (daughter) [+ x + 25 (mother)] = 58

2x + 25 = 58

2x = 33

x = 16.5

mother = x (daughter) + 25 = 41.5

Answer 3

  age of child=x

25+2x=58       (2x= age of twins)

2x=58-25=33

  x=33/2=16yrs  6month

Answer 4

Any number divisible by two, which subtracted from 58 is greater than 25.

But you will need to be more detailed and specific in your equation

Answer 5

25(age at the time of their birth)+x(years since their birth)+2x(two times the age of the twins=58

58-25=3x

33=3x

x=11
