Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob. In 12 years, Bob's mom's age will be twice of her son's. How old are Bob and Bob's mom now?

I would use a chart to solve this problem.

This is a good wya to organize your information.

Down the left side, list the people involved.

I put Bob first and the mom second but the order doesn't matter.

Since Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob, we can represent

Bob's age now as x and Bob's mom's age now as 3x.

Bob's age in 12 years will be x + 12 and Bob's mom's

age in 12 years will simply be 3x + 12.

Since the second sentence starts with in 12 years,

we will be using the information from our second column.

In 12 years, Bob's mom's age, 3x + 12, will be,

equals, twice of her son's age, 2(x + 12).

Solving from here, we find that x = 12.

This means that Bob's age now is 12 and his mom is 36.

The chart is attached below.

the answer is c)8
