Question

the difference between the age of two brother today is four years five years ago the ratio of their age was five​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ages of two brothers are 15 years and 19 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of one brother.

Therefore, age of another brother will be x + 4.

Five years ago their ages were (x-5) and (x+4-5) i.e., (x-1).

According to given condition,

(x-5)/(x-1) = 5/7

7x-35 = 5x-5

2x = 30

x = 15 years

age of other brother = 15 + 4 = 19 years.
