Question

Anu is 6 years older than Vinu. If Vinu’s age is taken as ‘x’, then,
a) What is Anu’s age ? What would be their ages after 2 years ?
b) Then, Anu’s age would be thrice that of Vinu. Write it using algebra.
c) Find their present ages. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vinu 1, Anu 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Anu's age

X+6

a)

After two years:

Anu's age X+6+2 =X+8

Vinu's age = X+2

b)

Anu's age 3(X+2)

=3X+6

c)

Vinu's age

3X+6=X+8

2X=2

X=1

Anus age: 1+6=7

Answer 2

Solution:

Let x be Vinu’s age
Let x + 6 be Anu’s age

After 2 years

x + 2 - Vinu
x + 6 + 2 = Anu

x + 8 = 3(x + 2)

x + 8 = 3x + 6

x - 3x = 6 - 8

-2x = -2

x = 1

a. Anu’s age is 7.

Anu’s age after two years is 7 and Vinu’s age after two years and Vinu’s age after two year is 1

b. Anu’s age would be 3x of that Vinu

x + 8 = 3(x + 2)

x + 8 = 3x + 6

x - 3x = 6 - 8

-2x = -2

x = 1

Vinu’s present age is 1
Anu’s present age is 7.

Hope it will help.
