Question

Anita is twice as old as her brother. In $6$ years from now, the sum of their ages will be $39$. How old are they now?

Answer 1

Let Anita's Brother age $=x$

$\therefore$ Anita Age $\Rightarrow 2x$

Six year after

Anita age $\Rightarrow 2x+6$

Brother Age $=x+6$

Ace to Ques.

$(2x+6)+(x+6)=39$

$3x+12=39$

$3x=27,=9$

$\therefore$ Anita Brother Age $\Rightarrow 9$ years $\left(x\right)$

Anita Age $\Rightarrow 18$ years $\left(2x\right)$
