Question

Bilal is 6 year older than ali,five year from now the sum of their age will be 40.how old are both of them

Answer 1

Answer:

Present age of Ali is $12$ years

Present age of Bilal is $18$ years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation between the ages of Bilal and Ali. We are asked to find their present ages.

It is said that Bilal is six years older than Ali .

So let the age of Ali $=x$ . . . . (1)

Thus age of Bilal $=x+6$ . . . . (2)

Next statement is five years from now sum of their ages will be $40$ .

From (1) , after five years age of Ali $=x+5$

From (2) , after five years age of Bilal $=x+6+5=x+11$

So their sum is $x+5+x+11=40$

                             $2x+16=40\\\\2x=40-16=24\\\\x=24/2=12$.

Therefore present age of Ali $12$ years

and present age of Bilal $18$ years.

Hence the answer.
