plz help mee..​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ravi. 20 years

Renu 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ravi be x years and Renu be y years old presently

Given

$x = 2y$

Also

$(x - 5) = 3(y - 5) \\ x - 3y = - 10$

Using the first equation here we have

$2y - 3y = - 10 \\ y = 10$

And hence

$x = 20$

Answer 2

Answer:

Ravi= 20 years

Renu = 10 years

2y–3y= –10

y= 10

x= 20 is the answer
