Question

The age of ram is 8 year more than the age of sham. The sum of the both ages is 28 years, then the age of ram is?

Answer 1

hiii

let sham's age be x
Ram's age = x + 8

ATP,
x + x + 8 = 28
=> 2x = 28 - 8
=> 2x = 20
=> x = 10

Ram's age is = 10 + 8 = 18

hope helps

Answer 2

Let the age of Sham be x
Therefore age of Ram = x + 8
Now,
Age of Ram + Age of Sham = 28
x + x + 8 = 28
or 2x + 8 = 28
2x = 28 - 8
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10

Age of Sham = x =10 years
Age of Ram = x+8 = 10+8 = 18 years
