(ans- A=40years B=24years)
....solution?​

Answer 1

Answer:

you have given the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A= x years B = y years

Now A tells that he was of y age and  B was of age y-(x-y).

So x+y=64

x=5[y-(x-y)]

x=5[y-x+y]

x=5[2y-x]

x=10y-5x

x+5x=10y

6x=10y

x=10y/6

10y/6+y=64

10y/6+6y/6=64

16y=64*6

16y=384

y=384/16

y=24=B's age

x+24=64

x=64-24

x=40=A's age
