If my mother was 24 years old when she gave birth to me, how old will I be when my mother is three times as old as me?

x=your age
x+24= mothers age
3x=(x+24)
3x=x+24
2x=24
x=12
x+24= mothers age
3x=(x+24)
3x=x+24
2x=24
x=12

You will be 12 and your mother will be 36.

When you are 12 she'll be 36 which is three times as old

12*3 mean is 36 which is 24 more than 12
