Answer 2

Given :-

• Amit is twice as old as his brother

• Difference of their ages is 19 years

To Find :-

• Their present ages

Solution :-

~ Let the age of Anand be ' x  '

Then Anand’s brother will be ' 2x '

( As we’re given his age is twice )  

Equation formed will be ::

• 2x – x = 19

Solving the equation ::  

2x – x = 19  

x = 19  

Therefore  

Age of Anand ‘ x ‘ is 19 years  

Age of Anand’s brother is 38 years
