Answer 1

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer :-}}}$

$\text{The age of Meena is 20 years}$$\text{The age of Minaxi is 14 years}$

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Explanation :-}}}$

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}$

Sum of their ages = 34

Meena is elder to Minaxi by = 6yrs

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{To find :}}}$

Their present ages

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}$

Consider the age of Minaxi as x

Meena's age = 6 + x

Equation :

$\sf{\implies6 + x + x = 34}$

$\sf{\implies6 + 2x = 34}$

$\sf{\implies2x = 34 - 6}$

$\sf{\implies2x = 28}$

$\sf{\implies \: x = \dfrac{28}{2} }$

$\sf{\implies \: x = 14}$

${\boxed{\bigstar{\sf \:{x = 14}}}}$

Value of x + 6

$\sf{\implies \: x + 6}$

$\sf{\implies \:14 + 6}$

$\sf{\implies \:20}$

${\boxed{\bigstar{\sf \:{Meena \: =20 \: years}}}}$

${\boxed{\bigstar{\sf \:{Minaxi = 14 \: years}}}}$

$\therefore$$\text{The age of Meena is 20 years}$$\text{The age of Minaxi is 14 years}$

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Verification :-}}}$

$\sf{\implies(6 + 14) + 14 = 34}$

$\sf{\implies20+ 14 = 34}$

$\sf{\implies34= 34}$

Here, we subtituted the value of x and got the required answer 34.

${\boxed{\bigstar{\sf \:{LHS = RHS}}}}$

$\therefore$$\text{The age of Meena is 20 years}$$\text{The age of Minaxi is 14 years}$
