An older person is eight years older than five times the age of a younger person some of their age is 25 their age

Answer 1

e = 8+5y

e+y = 25

e-5y = 8

subtract

6y = 17

y = 17/6 = 2 5/6 years old = younger person's age

e = 25 -2 5/6 = 22 1/6 years old = elder person's age

= 8 +5(2 5/6) = (48 +5(17))/6 = 133/6 = 22 1/6

Younger guy is 2 years 10 months old

Older guy is 22 years 2 months old
