Answer:
The first step is to find the equation. Let the age of the younger person be x. Then the age of the second person will be (x + 20) years. Five years ago their ages would have been x – 5 years and x + 20 years. Therefore as per the question, we have: 5 (x – 5) = (x + 20 – 5) or 4x = 40 or x = 10.
Therefore the ages are 10 years for the younger one and (10 + 20) years = 30 years for the elder one.
