the sum of the age of Sejal and sonal is 30 years sejal is elder to sonal by 2 years then find the age of Sejal
Answers
hey there here is the answer [ mark brainlest ]
Let age of sejal = x years
age of sonal = y years
A.T.Q
x+ y = 30 , x = y +2
y+y+2 = 30
2y = 30 - 2
2y= 28
y = 28/2
y= 14
Therefore, age of sonal= 14 years
age of sejal= 14+2 = 16 years
HOPE ITS HELPFUL
thanks
Concept
A linear equation is one that has a degree of 1 as its highest value. No variable in a linear equation, then, has an exponent greater than 1. Both linear equations with one variable and those with two variables exist.
Given
Given that the combined ages of Sejal and Sonal are 30 years. Sonal is 2 years younger than Sejal.
Find
We have to find the age of Sejal.
Solution
Let the age of Sejal is x.
Then the age of Sonai is x - 2.
We can write
x + x - 2 = 30
i.e. 2x = 30 + 2
i.e. x = 32/2 = 16
Therefore, the age of Sejal is 16 years.
