Question

The age of Sai is 3 years younger than a raja , so the after 5 years the sum is 55 , so find the ages of them.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sai's age = 21 years

Raja's age = 24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sai be x years

Then, present age of Raja = (x+3) years

After 5 years,

Sai's age = (x+5) years

Raja's age = (x+3+5) = (x+8) years

after 5 years, the sum of their ages is 55

  x+5 + x+8 = 55

       2x + 13 = 55

       2x = 55 - 13

      2x = 42

       x = 21

Sai's present age = 21

Raja's age = 21+3 = 24 years
