Question

the age of A is 5 times as age as B.If the sum of their age is 18.find their age.

Answer 1

Age of B =x
Age of A is 5times of B=5x
Sum of ages =18
According to problem,5x+x=18
6x=18
X=18/6=3
X=3,5x=15

Answer 2

✬ A's age = 15 Years ✬

✬ B's age = 3 Years ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Age of A is 5 times of B's age.
• Sum of ages of A and B is 18 years.

To Find:

• What is the present ages of A and B?

Solution: Let the age of B be x years. Therefore,

• Age of A = 5 times of x = 5x years.

According to the question:-

$\implies{\rm }$ A's age + B's age = 18

$\implies{\rm }$ 5x + x = 18

$\implies{\rm }$ 6x = 18

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 18/6

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 3 years

Hence, Age of A = 5x = 5(3) = 15 years and

Age of B = x = 3 years.
