Jan is twice as old as Jake. The sum of their ages is 5 times Jake's age less 48 . How old are Jan and Jake?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Jakes age = x yrs

jan's age = 2x yrs

equation => 2x + x = 5x – 48

=> 3x = 5x – 48

=> 5x – 3x = 48

=> 2x = 48

=> x = 48/2

=> x = 24

.•. Jakes age = 24 yrs

.•. Jan's age = 48 yrs
