Question

Solve linear equations based on real life situations
The sum of Aysha& and Ravi present age is 73.Four years from now Ayesha age will be twice Ravi;s age.Find their present

Answer 1

Answer: Let Aysha's present age be x years

Then Ravi's present age = 73-x years

After 4 years,

Aysha's age = x+4 years

Ravi's age = 73-x+4 = 77-x years

According to the question,

x+4 = 2(77-x)

x+4 = 154 - 2x

x+2x = 154 - 4

3x = 150

x = 150/3

x = 50

Aysha's present age = x = 50 years

Ravi's present age = 73-x = 73-50 = 23 years
