Question

Poonam is younger than Geeta by 6 years. The sum of their ages is 50 years,then what is Poonam's age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

age of poonam is 22 years

Step-by-step explanation:

age of poonam = x

age of geeta = y

first condition,

y-6 = x

second condition,

y+x= 50

therefore solving the linear equations,

y +(y-6) = 50

2y - 6= 50

2y = 56

y = 28 years

and x = y-6 = 28- 6 = 22 years
