Question

five years ago Tom age was five times the age of hare and the sum of present ages of Tommy and Hare is 34 years what will be the age of Harry after 6 years ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Tom = x

let the age of harry = y

so ATQ,

5(x -5) = y-5

x+ y = 34

to find y+6 = ?

so ,

5x-25 = y -5

5x -y = -5+25

5x -y = 20 ....(1)

x + y = 34

adding both the equations

6x = 54

x = 54/6

x = 9

now ,

y = 34-9

y = 25

hence age of harry after 6 years will be 25+6 = 31 years.

Thank you

Answer 2

Concept Introduction:-

It may be in the form of a word, a symbol, or a figure that reflects the arithmetic value of a quantity.

Given Information:-

We have been given that five years ago Tom age was five times the age of Hare and the sum of present ages of Tommy and Hare is $34$ years.

To Find:-

We have to find that the age of Harry after $6$ years.

Solution:-

According to the problem

let the age of Tom$=x$

let the age of harry$=y$

$5(x-5)=y-5\\x+y=34$

to find $y+6=?$

$y+6=?$

so

$5 x-25=y-5\\5 x-y=-5+25\\5 x-y=20\\x+y=34$...$(1)$

Adding both the equations

$\begin{aligned}&6 x=54 \\&x=54 / 6 \\&x=9\end{aligned}$

now,

$\begin{aligned}&y=34-9 \\&y=25\end{aligned}$

Hence the age of harry after $6$ years will be $25+6=31$ years.

Final Answer:-

The age of harry after $6$ years will be $31$ years.
