Answer:
joneys present age is18 years anh her yonger sisters age olis x-6=18-6=12years
Step-by-step explanation:
let
joneys age be x
his younger sisters age be x-6
after 10 years
joneys age will become x+10
his sisters age will become x-6+10=x+4
sum of there ages is 50
i.e.
x+10+x+4=50
2x+14=50
2x=50-14
2x=36
x=36/2
x=18
therefore joneys present age is18 years anh her yonger sisters age olis x-6=18-6=12years
