Question

solve this please, with steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the age of victor be x

and the age of louis be y

according to question,

x = 2y ---------------(1)

x + y = 42 -----------------(2)

put (1) in (2)

=> 2y + y = 42

=> 3y = 42

=> y = 14 (which is the age of louis.)

put this value in (1)

=> x = 2×14 = 28 (which is the age of victor.)
