Answer:
Your present age is 2 less than your friend's age. Twice your age is 11 more than your friend's present age. What is your age and your friend's age?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let your age be x years and friend's age be y years.
According to first condition,
x = y - 2. ------(1)
According to second condition,
2x = y + 11. ------(2)
Substituting eq. 1 in eq. 2,
2( y - 2 ) = y + 11
2y - 4 = y + 11
2y - y = 11 + 4
y = 15
Substituting the value of y in eq. (1),
x = 15 - 2
x = 13
So, your age is 13 years and your friend's age is 15 years.
Hope it helps....
