on Serena's 10th birthday her mom was 3 times her age.How old will Serena and her mom be when her mom's age times 0.5 equals Seren'a s age ?
When Serena is 10, her mom is 310=30. Her mom is 20 years older than Serena.
If her mom's age divided by half is equal to Serena's, then she will be twice as old as Serena.
20 + 20 = 40
20 2 = 40
Serena will be 20, her mom will be 40.
