Question

Sohan is 25 years older than Peter. After 5 years Sohan's age will be twice of Peters age. Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of Peter be x and Sohan be x+25

so,

$x + 25 + 5 = 2(x + 5) \\ x + 30 = 2x + 10 \\ 30 - 10 = 2x - x \\ 20 = x$

So the age of Peter is 20 years and Sohan is 20+25= 45 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is added to both terms because in the question it is written after 5 years and 2 is multiplied to Peter's age because Sohan will be twice his age so for equalling the age 2 is multiplied
