$27$ $27$ years old.

Explanation:

If we consider that $x$ $x$ is Edward's age, twice of his age is $2 x$ $2x$ and 3 more than that, $2 x + 3$ $2x+3$ , is equal to his mom's age. so we can form an algebraic equation as follows.

$2 x + 3 = 57$ $2x+3 = 57$

We should take $+ 3$ $+3$ to the other side of the equation

$2 x + 3 - 3 = 57 - 3$ $2x+3 -3 =57-3$

$2 x = 54$ $2x = 54$

Isolate $x$ $x$ : take $2$ $2$ to the other side of the equation

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{54}{2}$ $(2x)/2 = 54/2$

$x = 27$ $x = 27$
