Please give the answer by explanation. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kunal's Age = 20

Jatin's age= 25

Explanation:

Given: Age of Sahil = 58

To find: Age of Kunal and Jatin

Solution:

Let's assume Kunal's age as x

Shahil's age = 3x-2

Jatin's age= x+5

Given Shahil's age, 3x-2 = 58

3x = 58+2

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

Thus, Kunal's age,x = 20

Jatin's age, x+5 = 20+5

= 25
