Question

Salil's age is 23 years more than half of Sangram's age. Five years ago, the sum of their ages
was 55 years. Find their present ages.(for ninth standard)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Sangram-- x

Age of Sahil--

$\frac{x}{2} + 23$

Sum of their ages before 5 years - 55 yrs.

Therefore,

x-5 + x/2 + 23-5=55

x-5+x/2 + 18=55

x+x/2=55-13

x+x/2=42

2x=84

x=42

therefore,

Present age of Sangram is 42

Present age of Sahil is 44
