Question

Samuel is 5years older Chris . If Chris is 15 years old, find the sum of their ages.

Answer 1

Your Answer:

Given:-

• Samuel is 5 years older Chris
• Chris is 15 years old

To find:-

The sum of their ages of Chris and Samuel

Solution:-

Let the age of Samuel be S and age of Chris be C

According the Question

$\tt \large\bf \blue{S = C+5}$

We have C that is 15 years

So,

$\tt \large {S=15+5} \\\\ \tt \Rightarrow S=20years$

Now to find the ages of Samuel and Chris

$\tt S+C \\\\ \tt = 20+15 \\\\ \tt = 35 years$

Answer 2

$\mathbf\red{Given:-}$

• Samuel is 5 years older than Chris
• Chris is 15 years old

$\mathbf\blue{To\:Find}$

• Sum of the ages of Chris and Samuel

$\mathbf\purple{Solution:-}$

$\tt\orange{Let\:the\:age\:of\:Samuel\:be\:x}$

ATQ:-

$\tt\green{Age\:of\:Chris \: = \: 15years}$

$\tt\orange{Samuel\:is\:5years\:older\:than\:Chris}$

Then,

$\tt\green{Age\:of\: Samuel \: = \:Age\:of\: Chris\:+\:5}$

$\tt\orange{\implies x = 15 + 5}$

$\tt\green{\implies x = 20}$

$\tt\orange{Therefore,\: Age \: of \:Samuel = 20\: years}$

$\tt\purple{Sum\:of\:their\:ages = 20+15}$

$\tt\red{\implies 35\:years}$
