Question

Sayali age is 23 years more than half of the Sony age. Five years ago, the sum of their ages was 55 years. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sony's present age is 28 yrs. and Sayali's present age is 37 yrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sony's present age = x yrs.

Then Sayali's present age = (x / 2)+23

Five yrs ago,

Age of Sony = (x - 5) yrs.

Age of Sayali = (x /2 ) + 23 - 5 = (x/2 )+18 yrs.

According to the question,

X - 5 + (x/2 ) +18 = 55

( 2x +x) /2+13 = 55

   3x /2 = 55 - 13

    3x= 42 × 2

         x = 84 / 3 =28 yrs.

Sayali's present age = ( 28/2 ) +23= 14 +23= 37 yrs
