Question

Ajay is 7 years younger than Vijay. The sum of their ages is 25. Find their ages.​

Answer 1

Given:

• Ajay is 7 years younger than Vijay
• The sum of their ages is 25.

To Find:

• Age of Ajay & Vijay

Solution:

Let,

Age of Vijay be 'x' years

Then, Age of Ajay is 'x-7' years

According To Sum

$→\;{\bf{x+(x-7) = 25}}$

$→\;{\bf{x+x = 25+7}}$

$→\;{\bf{2x = 32}}$

$→\;{\bf{\cancel{2}x = \cancel{32}}}$

$→\;{\bold{x = 16}}$

➝ Ajay's = x-7 → 16-7 = 9

AnSweR:

Age of Vijay ◕➜ $\Large{\red{\mathfrak{16}}}$years

Age of Ajay ◕➜ $\Large{\green{\mathfrak{9}}}$years

Check:

→ x+x-7 = 25

→ 16+16-7 = 25

→ 16+9 = 25

→ 25 = 25

☞ LHS = RHS

Hope It Helps You ✌️

Answer 2

x = 18 /2

x=9

age of vijay =9

age of ajay = 2
