Question

the sum of jay and malhar ages is 34 years. jay iss 6 years older than malhar. find their present ages.​

Answer 1

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 2

Answer:

Jay's age

x+6=14+6=20

malhar's age =x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of jay be( x+6)and malhar x

sum of their ages is 34

x+6+x=34

2x+6=34

2x=34-6

2x=28

x=28/2

x=14

Now,

Jay's age

x+6=14+6=20

malhar's age =x=14
