Problem 60: The mother gave birth to the child when she was 24 years old. Currently, the mother's age is four times the child's age. Calculate the mother's age in 2 more years.
Let's denote the current age of the child as years.
- Given that the mother gave birth to the child when she was 24 years old, the mother's current age is years.
- It is also given that the mother's current age is four times the child's current age, which can be written as .
We can solve this equation for :
So, the child is currently 8 years old. This means the mother is currently:
Now, we need to calculate the mother's age in 2 more years:
Therefore, the mother's age in 2 more years will be 34 years old.
