Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Kiran is 24 years older than rakesh .
\n" ); document.write( "K = 24 + R.......(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Ten years back kirans age was 5 times
\n" ); document.write( "the age of rakesh.
\n" ); document.write( "K - 10 = 5(R - 10).....(2)
\n" ); document.write( "K - 10 = 5R - 50.......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (24 + R) from Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "in place of K in Eq(2)
\n" ); document.write( "K - 10 = 5R - 50.......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "(24 + R) - 10 = 5R - 50
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets
\n" ); document.write( "24 + R - 10 = 5R - 50
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "R - 5R = - 50 + 10 - 24
\n" ); document.write( "-4R = -64
\n" ); document.write( "R = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Rakesh is 16 years old.
\n" ); document.write( "Kiran is 40 years old.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)\r
