Janet is 6 yrs younger than Safia. How old is each girl if the sum of their age is 26.

Answer 1

10,16 are the ages Janet and Sofia

Let the age of Safia be a years

Janet's age = a - 6

According to question,

Janet's age + Safia's age = 26

=> a + a - 6 = 26

=> a = 16

Safia's age = 16 years

Janet's age = 16 - 6 = 10 years
