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.
