Question

if ajeets age is five more than twice the age of mohit and the sum of their ages is 20. Then the age of Mohit is​

Answer 1

Given:

• Age of Ajeet is 5 more rhan 2times the age of Mohit.
• The sum of their ages is 20.

To Find:

• The age of Mohit.

Answer:

Let us take the age of Mohit be x .

So , as per the given data ,age of Ajeet will be 2x+5.

Now , its given that the sum of their ages is 20.

So we will simply add the assumed ages and then we will solve the obtained linear equⁿ to obtain the age of Mohit.

Atq ,

=> x + 2x + 5 = 20 .

=> 3x + 5 = 20.

=> 3x = 20-5.

=> 3x = 15.

=> x = 15/3.

=> x = 5.

We had earlier assumed that the age of Mohit was x which is found to be 5 years

Hence the age of Mohit is 5 years.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of ajeeta be x and the age of Mohit be y.

According to question:

x=5+2y

=>-(x-2y=5)

-x+2y=-5------(1)

x+y=20-------(2)

(2)-(1):

x+y-x+2y=20-5

3y=15

y=5------(3)

(3) in (2):

x+5=20

x=20-5=15.

Hence, the age of ajeeta is 15 years and the age of Mohit is 5 years.
