Question

Gokul's age is 6 years more than Akhil's age. If the sum of their ages is 26, find their ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Akhil's age=x

Gokul's age= x+6

If the sum of the ages are 26 then.......

x + x+6=26

x+x= 26-6

2x=20

x= 20/2

x=10

Therefore Akhil's age is 10 yrs.

Then, Gokul's age will be x+6

                                         =10+6

                                         =16 yrs

Gokul's age is 16 yrs.

Hope it helps you.

It means, Gokul's age=10+6=16

and, Akhil's age = 10
