    When serena was 10 and her mom was 3 times her age that means they are 20 years apart from each other so when serena is 20 she will be half her moms age because her mom will be 40.

    Mom is 3 times of serena

    3*10=30

    mom is 30

    when will serena's age be half of mom's age?

    serena's age in x years is 10+x

    mom's age in x years is 30+x

    find the value that makes this statement true

    0.5 (30+x) = 10+x

    solve

    so

    distribute

    15+0.5x=10+x

    minus 0.5x from both sides

    15=10+0.5x

    minus 10 from both sides

    5=0.5x

    times 2 both sides

    10=x

    in 10 years

    10+10=20

    when serena is 20 years old, her mom will be 40
