9,6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN ,

             The sum of the ages of Prakash and his brother is 15 and the difference between their ages is 3 . Find their ages

Let the age of prakash be p

Let his brother's age be y

prakash age= p

his brothers =y - 3

p+(p - 3)=15

2p - 3 =15

2p=15+3

2p=18

p=18/2

p=9

now prakash age is 9 and his brothers age is 9 - 3 = y

y=6

therfore prakash age is =9

and his brother's age is 3

Answer 2

prakash age= x

his brothers = x minus 3

x+(x minus 3)=15

2x minus 3 =15

2x=15+3

2x=18

x=18÷2

x=9

now prakash age is 9 and his brothers age is 9 minus 3 = 6

:now 9 +6= 15 hence proved
