Answer / sumit jha
when ws peter as as paul is nw?? (x-y) years ago!!
so those years ago paul's age= y-(x-y) yrs
now qstn says peter is twice the age as paul ws then.
so x/2 = y-(x-y)
or x/2=2y-x
or x= 4y - 2x
or 3x = 4y
or y = 3/4x
rplacing d value of y in d equation x+y=35 we get answer as
-----
x=20
-----
y =15.
------
thus (x-y)=5 yrs ago y was 10 and x is twice that=20.
but x+y=35

Answer / paul
The answer is 21 years old (age of Peter).
Equation:
let x = present age of Peter
y = present age of Paul
When Peter has the same age as Paul (y yrs. old), age of
Paul is y/2 yrs. old. Since the differences of there ages
are equal for the 2 events, we have the equation...
x - y = y - y/2
y = (2/3)x
Substituting the equation of y to the equation x + y = 35,
will give us....
x + (2/3)x = 35
therefore, x = 21 (age of Peter)
