Answer:
Then the. Meena ' s age when 6 years are subtracted from her age = 2 x - 6 years . Soumya ' s age when 4 years are added to her. According to the question : x + 4 = 4 2 x - 6 ⇒ x + 4 = 8 x - 24 Subtracting x from both sides , we get 4 = 7 x - 24 Adding 24 to both sides , we get 28 = 7 x ⇒ 7 x = 28 Dividing.
