Given: The Sum of Jay and Malhar ages is 34 years. & Jay is six years older than Malhar.
Need to find: Their present ages?
AnSwer: Let the present age of Jay and Malhar be x years and y years respectively.
• As Per Given Condition :
- The Sum of Jay and Malhar ages is 34 years.
➟ (Jay + Malhar) = 34
➟ x + y = 34 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀—eqₙ. ( I )
Also,
- It' is also given that, Jay is six years older than Malhar.
➟ x – y = 6 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀—eqₙ. ( II )
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀
» From eqₙ ( I ) & eqₙ ( II ) :
⇥ (x + y) + (x – y) = 34 + 6
⇥ 2x = 40
⇥ x = 40⁄2
⇥ x = 20
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀
✇ Putting the Value of x in eqₙ ( I ) :
⇥ x + y = 34
⇥ 20 + y = 34
⇥ y = 34 – 20
⇥ y = 14
∴ Hence, present age of Jay and Malhar are 20 years and 14 years respectively.

Answer:
Given:-
- The sum of jay and malhar ages is 34 years .Jay is 6 years older than malhar .
To find :-
- To find their present ages .
Explanation :-
1)
- In the question given that ,
- The sum of ages of malhar and Jay is 34 years.
- As per this we consider that,
- x + y =34 (i)
2)And also we know from the question that , Jay is 6 years older than malhar
- According to this,
- x - y = 6 (ii)
From the equation 1 and 2 we get that,
- (x+y)+(x-y)=34+6
- 2x = 40
- x = 40/2
- x = 20.
Now putting the value of x in equation 2 we get that,
- x - y = 6
- 20 - y = 6
- 20- 6 =+y
- y =14.
Therefore ,
- The present ages of malhar and Jay is 14 and 20.
