Question

The present age of A is twice that of B. 30 years from
now, age of A will be 14 times that of B. Find the
present ages of A and B
2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of A be x and present age of B be y.

From first statement

x=2y

After 30 years age of A becomes (x+30) and age of B becomes (y+30)

According to second statement

(x+30)=14(y+30)

x+30=14y+420

From first equation x=2y

2y+30=14y+420

14y-2y=30-420

12y=-390

as y is negative

I think there is some problem with the question
