Question

Jayant is 6 years older than Jaya if the sum of their ages is 30 what are there ages?

Answer 1

let jaya's age be x
so jayanti's age is 6+x
6+x+x=30
6+2x=30
2x=30-6
2x=24
x=12

Answer 2

if jaya is x years
then jayant is x+6
so their ages =x+x+6=30
=2x=30-6
=2x=24
=x=12
jaya age is 12 years
jayant age is 18 years
