Answer:
Age of younger brother is 4 years..
And age if elder brother is 14 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us denote 'x' as the age of smaller brother,
then, the age of younger brother will be x+10 years.
x+x+10 = 18
2x+10 = 18
2x = 18-10
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
Age of younger brother is 4 years.
Age of elder brother = x + 10
= 4 + 10
= 14 years.

Step-by-step explanation:
3 chocolates each or 3x because what "each" means is not known yet-
3x
<em>Note: Always use x for an unknown value</em>
2 remaining chocolates-
3x + 2
50 total chocolates-
3x + 2 = 50
Remove two to keep the x alone-
3x = 48
Remove the 3 or the "Coefficient" by dividing-
48/3 = 16
x = 16
Equation: 3x + 2 = 50
