Answer 1

ANSWER:-

Given:

Rakesh's age is less than sania's by 5 years. The sum of their ages is 17 years.

To find:

How old are they?

Solution:

⏺️Let the sania age be x years&

⏺️Let Rakesh age be x-5 years

Sum of their ages is 17 years

According to the question:

=) x + x-5 = 17

=) 2x -5 = 17

=) 2x = 17+5

=) 2x= 22

=) x= 22/2

=) x= 11

Thus,

Sania' s age, = 11 years

Rakesh's age, x-5 = 11-5 = 6 years.

Hope it helps ☺️

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let Rakesh age be 'x'

let Sania age be 'y'

so x= y-5

x+y=17

y-5+y=17

2y-5=17

2y=17+5

2y=22

y=22/2

y=11

x=y-5

x=6

age of Rakesh is 6 years

age of Sania is 11 years
