Question

Aarohi is 3 years younger to her brother Shaurya. If the sum of their ages is 37 years. What are their

present ages?

Answer 1

Answer:

Aarohi is 17 and Shaurya is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Aarohi's age be x and Shaurya's age be y.

x + 3 = y

x + y = 37

Substitute y with x+3 in the second statement.

x + x + 3 = 37

2x + 3 = 37

2x = 37 - 3 = 34

x = 34 ÷ 2 = 17

Aarohi is 17 years old.

y = 17 + 3 = 20.

Shaurya is 20 years old.
