Question

Jimmy and jonny r two boys whose ages add up to 23 jimmy is 5yrs older than jonny how old are they

Answer 1

Answer:

Jonny is 9 years old and Jimmy is 14 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take Jonny's unknown age as "x".

It is stated that Jimmy is 5 years older than Jonny.

Therefore, Jimmy's age is (x+5).

Both their ages add upto 23.

So, (x+x+5)=23

2x=23-5

2x=18

x=18/2

Thus x=9

Here we have found Jonny's age which is 9

Jimmy is 5 years older than Jonny, so he is 14.
