Answer 1

HOPE IT HELPS!!

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE AGE OF TOM BE X

THUS, BOB'S AGE=X+3

ACCORDING TO QUESTION,

X+X+3=27

2X=27-3

2X=24

X=24/2

X=12

TOM'S AGE=X=12YEARS

BOB'S AGE=X+3=12+3=15 YEARS

Answer 2

Let Bob's age be x yrs

According to Question,

Tom's age will be (x + 3) yrs

Now,

x + (x + 3) = 27

2x + 3 = 27

2x = 27 - 3

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12yrs

Therefore

Bob is 12 years old

Tom is 12 + 3 = 15 years old
