Answer:
let take the age of Amit = x
then his mother's age will be 3x
sum of their ages 52
the equation will be = x + 3x = 52
[tex]Let \: amit \: age \: be \: x \: years [/tex]
[tex]His \: mother \: age =x \times 3 \\ \\ = 3x \: years[/tex]
[tex]So , [/tex]
[tex] x + 3x = 52 \\ \\ 4x = 52 \\ \\ x = \frac{52}{4} \\ \\ x = 13 \: years[/tex]
