Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Bill's age be x years

So John age is 2x

After 5 years John's age = 2x+5 and Bill's age = x+5

According to the question

2x +5+x+5=34

3x+10=34

x=8

BILLS AGE IS 8 YEARS AND JOHNS AGE IS 16 YEARS

Answer 2

Let the age of Bill = X

then the ,

age of John will be = 2X

ATQ,

X + 5 + 2X + 5 = 34

3X +10 = 34

3X = 34-10

3X = 24

X = 24/ 8

X = 8

Age of Bill = X= 8 yrs.

And, Age of John = 2X = 8*2 = 16 yrs.
