5x+5 = 8x-4

9 = 3x

x = 3

∴ Age of Ashok = 5*3 = 15 years

Age of Naresh = 8*3 = 24 years

Here is your answer
Let the age of Ashok is 5x years

Age of Naresh is 8x years

ATQ
$5x + 5 = 8x - 4 \\ 8x - 5x = 5 + 4 \\ 3x = 9 \\ x = \frac{9}{3} \\ x = 3$
Therefore
Ashok age is 5× 3 = 15 years

Naresh age is 8×3 = 24 years
