Answer 2

Answer:

The present age of A = 7x

The present age of B = 8x

After Ten Years .

The age of A = 7x + 6

The age of B = 8x + 6

7x + 6 = 5

8x + 6 = 6

6(7x + 6) = 5( 8x + 6)

42x + 36 = 40x +30

42x - 40x = 36 - 30

2x = 6

X= 6

2

X= 3 .

The present age of A = 7x

7×6 = 42 years

The present age of B = 8x

8×6= 48 years
