Answer 1

Question :-

Anil is 8 years older that Sunil. If sum of their ages is 28,find Anil's age​

Answer :-

Anil's age = 18 years

Given :-

• Anil is 8 years older that Sunil
• Sum of their ages is 28

To find :-

Anil's age = ?

Solution :-

      Let Sunil's age be x years

=> Anil is 8 years older than Sunil

   ∴ Anil's age = (x + 8) years

=> Sum of their ages = 28

      x + (x + 8) = 28

       x + x + 8 = 28

        2x + 8 = 28

        2x = 28 - 8

        2x = 20

        x = 20/2

        x = 10

∴ Sunil's age = 10 years

    Anil's age = 10 + 8

                      = 18 years
