m = 5a

m + a = 30

Because we already know the value of m, we can find the value of a.

5a + a = 30

Combine like terms.

6a = 30

Divide both sides by 6

a = 5

Now that we know the value of a, we can find the true value of m.

m = 5a

m = 5 * 5

m = 25

Aisha is 5 years old, and Aisha's mother is 25 years old. (This is your answer.)
