Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Maggi is 20 years older than Tina. 10 years ago, Maggi's age was five times the age of Tina

To find:-

Find their present ages.

Solution:-

Let the present age of Tina be X years

Then the age of Maggi = (X+20) years

Age of Tina 10 years ago=(X-10) years

Age of Maggi 10years ago =X+20-10=(X+10) years

But, Given that

Maggi's age was five times the age of Tina.

=>X+10=5(X-10)

=>X+10=5X-50

=>X-5X=-50-10

=>-4X=-60

=>4X=60

=>X=60/4

=>X=15 years

Answer:-

The present age of Tina =15 years

The present age of Maggi=15+20=35 years

Check:-

10years ago , Tina's age =15-10=5 years

10years ago, Maggi's age =5 times to Tina's

age

=>5×5=25 years

=>35-10=25 years
