If Jason's age is 16, then the equation is:
16 = 1/2(M - 6), where M is Jason's mother's age.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 gives us:
32 = M - 6
Adding 6 to both sides gives us:
M = 38
Therefore, Jason's mother is 38 years old. Answer: \boxed{38}.
Jason’s age is 1/2 the difference of his mother’s age and 6. Jason is 16. How old is Jason’s mother?(1 point)
