Question

The sum of ages of Noi's and Noy's is 26 years. The different between four times Noi's age and two times Noy's age is 28 years. Find the age of Noi and Noy.

Write as an equation

Answer 1

Noi = x

Noy = y

x+y = 26 ... (1)

4x-2y= 28 ... (2)

Solve:

x+y= 26

x= 26-y (keep it)

4x-2y= 28

4(26-y)-2y=28

104-4y-2y= 28

-6y= 28-104

-6y=-76

y= 12,6 (12 years 6 mouths)

x+y= 26

x + 12.6 = 26

x= 26-12.6

x= 13, 4 ( 13 years 4 mouths)

Answer 2

Let the age will be x

4x+2x-28 years

6x-28

x-28 by 6 -4.66

SO THE ANSWER IS 4.66
