Question

Bettina is three years younger than Ingrid. In 5 years, the sum of their age will be 59. How old will they be in five years?​

Answer 1

Let Ingrid age=x

Then Bettina age=x-3

Given after five years sum of their ages is 59

Ingrid age after 5 years=x+5

Bettina age after 5 years=x-3+5=x+2

I. e

x+5+x+2=59

2x+7=59

2x=59-7

2x=52

x=26

Bettina age after 5 years=26+2=28

Ingrid age after 5 years=26+5=31

Answer 2

bettina ' s age will be 28 and ingrid age will be 31
