Question

Write and solve equations:

If asia is 10 years older than rani the sum of their age is 200

Answer 1

Let Asia's and Rani's age be "x"

Since Asia is 10 years bigger Asia will be "x+10"

Asia's Age + Rani's Age = 200

x + x + 10 = 200

2x + 10 = 200

2x = 200 - 10

2x = 190

x = 190

-----

2

x = 95

Asia = x + 10

95 + 10

105

Rani's age is 95 and Asia's Age is 105
