GiveN :
- Ali is three years younger than Ahmed.
- Faraz is five years older than Ahmed.
- The sum if their ages is 29.
To find :
- Ages of Ali, Ahmed and Faraz.
Required Solution :
- Let the age of Ahmed be x
- Then the age of Ali will be x - 3
- Age of Faraz will be x + 5
Now,
According to the Question,
➟ (x – 3) + (x) + (x + 5) = 29
➟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀3x + (– 3 + 5) = 29
➟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3x + 2 = 29
➟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀3x = 29 – 2
➟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀3x = 27
➟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ x = 27/3
➟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ x = 9
Hence,
- Age of Ahmed (x) = 9 years .
- Age of Ali (x – 3) = 9 – 3 = 6 years.
- Age of Faraz (x + 5) = 9 + 5 = 14 years.

Verification:
As it is given,
Sum of their ages = 29 years.
So ,
Age of Ali, Ahmed and Faraz = 29 years
⇛ 6 + 9 + 14 = 29
⇛ 15 + 14 = 29
⇛ 29 = 29
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀L.H.S. = R.H.S.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Hence, Verified !!
