Step-by-step explanation:
let Mr Sen's age be x
Mrs Sen's age = x- 5
here, (x) + (x-5) = 115
= x + x-5 = 115
= 2x-5 = 115
= 2x = 115+5
= 2x = 120
= x = 120/2
= 60
x-5=60-5=55
Mr Sen's age = 60 yrs
Mrs Sen's age= 55yrs

Let the age of Mr. Sen be x and the age of Mrs. Sen be y.
______________________
Now, the equation for the statement, "Mrs.Sen is 5 years younger than Mr. Sen" will be :-
===>x-5=y
===>x-y=5 ———— eq. 1
______________________
And the equation for the statement,"The sum of their ages is 115 will be:-
===>x+y=115———— eq.2
______________________
Adding eq. 1 and eq. 2 we get:-
===>x-y+x+y=5+115
[ y cancels with -y and x+x gives 2x]
===>2x=120
===>x=60
______________________
Putting the value of x in eq. 1 we get:-
===>x-y=5
===>60-y=5
===>y=60-5
===>y=55

***HENCE THE AGE OF MR. SEN IS 60 YEARS AND THE AGE OF MRS. SEN IS 55 YEARS
