Given :
- Age of Tany and Dazzy are in the ratio of 5:9
- 8 years later thier sum of the age will be 86 years.
To find :
- Thier present age
According to the question,
Let the ratio be 5x and 9x
8 years later,
Age of Tany will be 5x + 8
Age of Dazzy will be 9x + 8
So,the equation will be :-
→ 5x + 8 + 9x + 8 = 86
→ 14x + 16 = 86
→ 14x = 86 - 16
→ 14x = 70
→ x = 70 ÷ 14
.°. x = 5
__________...
Value of 5x
→ 5x
→ 5 × 5
→ 25 years
_________....
Value of 9x
→ 9x
→ 9 × 5
→ 45 years
So,the age of Tany is 25 years &
Age of Dazzy is 45 years...
______....
Verification :
→ 5x + 8 + 9x + 8 = 86
→ 14x + 16 = 86
Putting the value of x
→ 14 × 5 + 16 = 86
→ 70 + 16 = 86
→ 86 = 86
