Answer 1

Given :

Sum of the ages of Seeta and Geeta is 29.

Sita is three years younger than Geeta.

What To Find :

Present ages of sita and Geeta.

Solution :

Present age of sita be x

Present age of Geeta be x + 3

According to the question

$\boxed{\sf \: \large{\textrm{{{\color{navy}{x \: + \: x \: + \: 3 \: = \: 29}}}}}}$

Now , solving this liner equation

$\begin{cases}\large\bf\orange{ \longrightarrow} \rm \: x \: + \: x \: + \: 3 \: = \: 29 \\ \\ \large\bf\orange{ \longrightarrow} \rm \: 2x \: + \: 3 \: = \: 29 \\ \\ \large\bf\orange{ \longrightarrow} \rm \: 2x \: = \: 29 \: - \: 3 \\ \\ \large\bf\orange{ \longrightarrow} \rm \: 2x \: = \: 26 \\ \\ \large\bf\orange{ \longrightarrow} \rm \: x \: = \: \cancel\frac{26}{2} \\ \\ \large\bf\orange{ \longrightarrow} \rm \: x \: = \: 13 \end{cases}$

We know ,

• Age of sita is x
• Age of Geeta is x + 3

Putting the values of x

☯ Present age of Sita

⇥13

☯ Present age of Geeta

⇥x + 3
