Answer 2

Answer:

Age of Ram is 7 years and age of Shyam is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sum of ages of Ram and Shyam is 17 years.

Let age of Ram be x years.

So, age of Shyam is (17-x) years.

After 3 years age of Ram is x+3 and age of Shyam is $(17 - x + 3) = 20 - x$years

According to question,

$(20 - x) - (x + 3) = 3$

We are removing first brackets,

$20 - x - x - 3 = 3$

$20 - 2x - 3 = 3$

We are separating variable and constant part,

$- 2x = 3 + 3 - 20$

$- 2x = - 14$

$x = 7$

So,age of Ram is 7 years and age of Shyam (17-7)=10 years.
