Question

The ratio ages of two brothers is 3:4.in six years time the ratio of their ages will be 5:6, how old is shola now

Answer 1

Answer:

9&12

Step-by-step explanation:

let there present ages be 3x and 4x. after six years their ages would be 3x+6 and 4x+6. therefore

3x+6/4x+6=5/6

(3x+6)(6)= (4x+6)(5)

18x+36= 20x+30

36-30= 2x

x=6/2=3.

their present ages would be

3x=3*3=9

and 4x=4*3=12.
