You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let Anil be x and his wife y:
:
x+y = 88, substract y from both sides:
x = 88-y
x+8:y+8 = 7:6
substitute for x:
88-y+8:y+8 = 7:6
96-y:y+8
104-y:y = 7:6 cross multiply
6(104-y) = 7y
624-6y = 7y
Subtract 7y+624 from both sides:
-13 y = -624
Divide both sides by -13:
y = 48 His wife is 48 and Anil is 7:6 = 7/6 = 1 1/6 and:
48*1.1666 = 56 Anil is 56 years olf
