Answer 1

Answer:

Two brothers =18

one of the is 10 years older than younger

10+X=18

X=18-10

X=8

Answer 2

Answer:

Age of younger brother is 4 years..

And age if elder brother is 14 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote 'x' as the age of smaller brother,

then, the age of younger brother will be x+10 years.

Equation formed:-

x+x+10 = 18

2x+10 = 18

2x = 18-10

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

Age of younger brother is 4 years.

Age of elder brother = x + 10

= 4 + 10

= 14 years.
