Answer 2

Answer:

The age of younger brother and elder brother is 2 years and 6 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• The elder of two brothers is 4 years older than the younger
• If he is also 3 times as old as the younger

To find :

• Their ages

Solution :

Let,

Age of younger brother = x

Elder brother is 4 years older than the younger

Age of elder brother = x + 4

Also,

Age of elder brother = times as old as the younger

★ According to the Question :

⇒ 3 (x) = x + 4

⇒ 3x = x + 4

⇒ 3x - x = 4

⇒ 2x = 4

⇒ x = 4/2

⇒ x = 2

Age of younger brother = 2 years

Age of elder brother = x + 4

⇒ 2 + 4

⇒ 6

Age of elder brother = 6 years

Therefore, the age of younger brother and elder brother is 2 years and 6 years respectively.
