Answer:
Let Anita’s age be “x” years
Then, Akhil’s age will be (x + 8) years
Sum of their ages is 26
x + (x + 8) = 26
2x + 8 = 26
2x = 26 – 8 {transposing 8 to RHS}
2x = 18
x =
18
2
{transposing 3 to RHS}
x = 9
Ans. Anita’s age = x = 9 years, and
Akhil’s age = x + 8 = 9 + 8 = 17 years

Answer:
Hi...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Anita's age be x years.
Akhil's age=8+Anita's age
=8+x.
According to the question
Akhil's age +Anita's age=26
8+x+x=26
8+2x=26
2x=26-8
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9
Anita's age =9 years.
Akhil's age =8+9
=17 years.
