Answer: Arun is now 20, Shree is 10 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
In the system of equations Arun's age is a. Shree is s
a = 2s .(current age equation) Subtract 5 from each for five years ago,
a-5 = 3(s-5) . Substitute 2s for a in the second equation
2s -5 = 3(s-5) distribute and reorganize
2s-5 = 3s -15 . 15 - 5 = 3s - 2s
10 = s . Substitute into the first equation to find a
a = 2(10)
a = 20
5 years ago Shree was 5 and Arun was 15
Answer: Arun = 20, Shreet = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represent Arun's current age and S represent Shreet's current age
Current Age Age 5 years ago
A = 2S A - 5 = 3(S - 5)
Substitute A = 2S into the "5 years ago" equation to solve for S:
(2S) - 5 = 3(S - 5)
2S - 5 = 3S - 15
-5 = S - 15
10 = S
Substitute S = 10 into the "current age" equation to solve for A:
A = 2S
= 2(10)
= 20
