Ravi is 8 years older than nastasha the sum of their ages is 42 find their ages

Natasha is 17 and Ravi is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = Natasha’s age and r = Ravi’s age

We can write an equation then substitute: 42=n+r

We know that Ravi is 8 years older than Natasha, so Ravi’s age is equal to n+8. We can substitute that in, so 42= n+(n+8)

Simplify:

42=n+(n+8)

42= 2n+8

42-8=2n+8-8 (subtract 8 from both sides to isolate n)

34=2n

34/2=2n/2 (divide both sides by two)

17=n

Natasha is 17, and Ravi is 8 years older. 17+8= 25, Ravi is 25. You can double check by adding 25 and 17 together, which brings you back to 42 :]
