Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane. the ratio of their ages is5:3.how old is paul

Given :-

Find :-

Let,

According to question

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6(1)

And,

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18(3)

Subtract equ(2) & (3)

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

keep in equ(2)

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul's age :  Jane´ s age

5                : 3

5-3 =2 (age difference)

2u-> 6

1u->3

5->15

the one that has a slope of 1/2 and is positive.
