Question

Tinku is 5 years younger than his brother if the sum of their ages is 43 years Now find their present ages and 2 years later..
pls provide the explanation

Answer 1

let tinku age=x
let tinku's brother age 5x
sum of their ages=43
x+5x=43
6x=43
x=63/6
x=1.5
then,tinku's age=1.5years
tinku's brother age=5×1.5
7.5years
after two years their age will be
3.5 and 10.5 respectively

Answer 2

Answer:

let the age of his brother be x

then tom's age is x - 5

given sum of their ages is 43

so,

x + x - 5 = 43

2x = 38

x = 19 years

so tom's brother age is 19 years

then tom' s age = x - 5 = 19 - 5 = 14 years

After 2 years they will be 21 and 16 years respectively.

Hope this will help you
