word problem
O x + (x+10) = 36
O x +10 = 36
O X - 10 = 36
O x + 36 = 10​

Answer 1

Answer: x + (x-10)=36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sonia's age be x years.

So, Rakesh's age would be (x-10) years.

Now, according to the question;

x + (x-10) = 36

Hence, option(1) would be the appropriate answer.
