Question

Arun is 6 years younger than karuna . the sum of their ages is 40 years . represent the given information in linear equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Reena's present age be x years

⇒ Ajay's present age=x−6

and x+x−6=28

⇒2x=34

⇒x=17

⇒ Reena's age=17,

Ajay's age=11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that ;

Arun is 6 years younger than Karuna .

Let ,

The age if Karuna = x

• Age if Arun = x - 6

Also Given that ,

Sum of their ages = 40

x + x - 6 = 40

Hence ;

2x - 6 = 40

Expression :

• 2x - 6 = 40

or

By simplifying ;

2x = 40 + 6

• 2x = 46

Additional :

2x = 46

x = 46 / 2

x = 23 years

Hence ;

Age of Karuna = 23 years

Age of Arun = 23 - 6

= 17 years
