Step-by-step explanation:

A=5x

B=3x

after 6 yrs

A=7x

B=5x

Answer 2

Answer:

24 years

Explaination:

Let the sum of the ages of A=5x and B=3x

Then after 6 years, their ages are in ratio 7:5

∴ Then after 6 years, their ages are in ratio 7:5

5x+6/3x+6=7/5

∴ 25x+30=21x+42

4x=12

x=3

Present age of A= 5x=15

Present age of B=3x=9

Sum of present age =15+9=24 years
