Question

2) Rakesh’s age is less than Sania’s age by 5 years. The sum of their ages is 27 years. How old

are they?​

Answer 1

sania=16

Rakesh =11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sania's age be x

Rakesh age be x-5

Sum of there age =27

=x+(x-5)=27

x+x-5 =27

2x-5=27

2x=27+5

2x=32

x=32÷2

x=16

sania's age is 16 and rakesh age is 16-5

= 11
