Question

suma is twice as old as her brother. in 6 years time the sum of their ages will be 39 years. what is her age now

Answer 1

Answer:

Suma=18 years Brother=9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Suma be x years and let her brothers age be y years...

given that..

x=2y

after 6 years:

x+6+y+6=39

x+y+12=39

x+y=27

putting x=2y

2y+y=27

3y=27

y=9

as x=2y

x=2X9

x=18
