Question

) Solve the following equation.
Rohan's age is less than Zia's age by 5 years. The sum of their ages is 27 years. How old are they?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Age of rohan = x = 10

Age of zia = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let rohan's age be x

so,zia's age is x + 5

now,

according to the question

or, x + x + 5 = 27

or, 2x + 5 = 27

or, 2x = 27 -5

or, 2x = 22

or, x = 22÷2

or, x = 10
