Answer: [tex]10, 31\ \text{years}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The present age of Madison's Mother is three time that of Madison
Suppose the Present age of Madison is [tex]x[/tex], so age of her mother is [tex]3x[/tex]
After [tex]6\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{years}[/tex], the sum of their age will be [tex]53\dfrac{3}{4}\ \text{years}[/tex]
[tex]\therefore (x+6\dfrac{1}{4})+(3x+6\dfrac{1}{4})=53\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 4x+2\times \dfrac{25}{4}=\dfrac{53\times 4+3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 4x+\dfrac{50}{4}=\dfrac{215}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=\dfrac{215-50}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{165}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow x= 10.31\approx 10[/tex]
Madison mother's age [tex]3x=30.93\approx 31\ \text{years}[/tex]
