Question

The sum of ages of Sam and Jithu is 69 years. If Sam is twice as old as Jithu, find the difference of their ages.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of jithu be x

now the age of Sam will be 2x

x + 2x = 69

3x = 69

x = 69/3

x = 23

therefore

age of Jithu = 23

age of Sam = 2 × 23

46

difference between their age is 46 - 23

= 23 ans
