Question

Rakesh's age is less than sanin's age by 5 years the sum of their ages is 27 years . how old are they?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sonia age = 16 years

Rakesh age = 11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sania's age = x

Rakesh's age = x-5

sum of their age = 27

Equation:

x+x-5 = 27

2x-5 = 27

2x= 27+5

2x= 32

x=32/2

x=16

Sania age = x=16 years

Rakesh age = x-5 = 16-5 = 11 years

Answer 2

Let Sanin's present age be x.

Let Rakesh's present age be x-5.

Sum of their present ages is 27.

Equation:

(x-5)+x = 27

x-5+x = 27

2x-5 = 27

2x = 27+5

2x = 32

x = $\frac{32}{2}$

x = 16 years.

Answer:

Sanin's present age is 16 years.

Rakesh's present age = x-5

                                     = 16-5

                                     = 11 years.

Therefore the present ages of Sani and Rakesh are 16 years and 11 years respectively.
