Isabel’s mom was 25 years old when isabel was born. In 9 years, her mom will be twice the age she was Isabel was born. How old is isabel?



Answer :

Isabel is 16 years old.

Given that:

  • Isabel's mom was 25 years when Isabel was born.
  • Isabel's mom will be 50 years old in 9 years.

Solve for:

  • Isabel's age.

This scenario can be represented by an equation.

x + 34 = 50

where x is Isabel's age

x = 50 - 34

x = 16

Therefore, Isabel would have to be 16 years old in order for her mom to be turning 50 in 9 years.
