Question 909134: age of 2 persons 4:5 and one 30 years older than the other now find sum of their ages

If I'm understanding the problem correctly, there are two people whose ages are 30 years apart, and whose ages have a ratio of 4:5.
In that case, we want that ratio to have a difference of 30.
4*30:5*30
120:150
Sum is 270 (and an impossibility)
