Question

Tom and Sally s ages are in 4:9 four years later sum of their ages will be 73 find there ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom = 20 years   Sally = 45 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ages be 4X and 9X

Their ages after 4years = (4X +4) + (9X+4) = 73  [given]

(4X +4) + (9X+4) = 73  

13X + 8 = 73

13X = 65

X = 5

Therefore age of Tom = 4X =4 x 5 = 20years

Sally's age = 9X = 9 x 5 = 45years (present ages)
