Answered by shrutiagarwal200549

let a be 2x and b b be x.

5 yrs ago....

a=5-2x

b = 5-x

5-x=3(5-2x)

above....

Attachments:

0ritin0: yours is wrong because when you take 5 years ago on your answer it will be a negative number

0ritin0: and also you took 5 - x which cannot occur because age is always positive

shrutiagarwal200549: so inverse it...

shrutiagarwal200549: but my ans is correct

shrutiagarwal200549: thats correct

0ritin0: yours is still wrong because 5 years earliers A,'s age is not twice B's
