Question

My son and daughter were born on the same day but not in the same year. on their birthday last year, my son who is elder of the two was(x+4) years old and daughter was (5x-6) years old. find the possible value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation.

. If x = 1, the age of the daughter will be negative. Age is always a positive number. So, 1 is not the possible value of x.

. If x is greater than or equal to three, the age of the daughter will be more than the age of the son. According to the question, the age of the son should be more than the age of the daughter. So, x cannot be greater than or equal to three.

. 2 is the only number which is between 1 and 3. So, 2 is the possible value of x.
