Answer:

Now , Piyush age =3+Honey age

Explanation:

Honey age=x

Piyush age=y

1 year ago,Honey age=x-1

Piyush age=y-1

the ratio of Honey and Piyush age=2:3

x-1:y-1=2:3

x-1/y-1=2/3

3(x-1)=2(y-1)

3x-3=2y-2

3x-2y= -2+3

3x-2y=1 eq _1

after 5 years from now,

Honey age=x+5

Piyush age=y+5

the ratio of them=4:5

x+5/y+5=4/5

5(x+5) =4(y+5)

5x+25=4y+20

5x-4y=20-25

5x-4y=-5 _eq2

eq1and 2_

5x-4y= -5

3x-2y= 1

-

2x-2y=-6

x-y =-3

-y=-3-x

y=3+x
