Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sara=s

ahmed = s+4 (4 years older than Sara)

s-5 + (s+4)-5 = 48

2s -6 = 48

2s = 54

s=27

SARA is 27 AHMED is 31

5 years ago:

SARA WAS 22 AHMED WAS 26

22+26 =48

Answer:

Sara is 27 years old and Ahmed is 31 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara was 22 years old before.

Ahmed was 26 years old before.

5 years before= 5+5=10

So, minus five from both to make 10.

Now add five plus five to make 10 to find their current age by subtracting 4 years from Ahmed's age.
