Question

Stanley 's age is 23 years more than half of the Bryne 's age. Five years ago , the sum of their ages was 55 years. Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

37 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Stanley age be x and bryne be y

x = y/2+23

five years ago

x-5+y-5 = 55

x+y-10 = 55

x+y = 65

y/2+23+y = 65

3y/2 = 65-23

3y/2 = 42

3y = 84

y = 84/3

y = 28

x = 28/2+23

x = 37
