Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that a+ b = 50. the questions aks us to reduce the age by 5 years from both which becomes the sum of 40. now lets comvert the ratios into x and solve the equation. = 5x + 3x = 40 = 8x= 40 = x = 5. now that we know x = 5 their present age would be 5 × 5 + 5 and 3 × 5 + 5 = 30 and 20
