Question

Harshit is twice as old his brother Anuj. If the sum of their ages is 28 years,what are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let Harshit age be x+2

so Anuj age be x

sum of their ages = 28

x+x+2 = 28

2x +2 = 28

2x = 28-2

2x = 26

x = 26/2

x = 13 (answer)

now,

x+2 = 13+2 = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

9 yrs and 18 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Anuj's age be x,

so, Harshit's age = 2x

x + 2x = 28

3x = 28

x = 28/3

= 9.3

therefore, Anuj's age is 9 yrs and Harshit's age is 18 yrs.

hope my answer was helpful :)
