Answer:

Aman's age = 20, Arun's age = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Aman's age

Let y = Arun's age

- - - -

x+4+y+4=56 (Sum of their age is 56 after 4 years in the future)

x+y+8=56

x+y=48

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{7} (Ages are in the ratio 5:7)

x=\frac{5}{7}y

Now, we can use substitution to find for Arun's age:

x+y=48

\frac{5}{7}y+y=48

\frac{12}{7}y=48

y=28

∴ Arun is 28

To find for Aman's age, we can use substitution:

x+y=48

x+28=48

x=20

∴ Aman is 20

Hope this helps :)

rjkz [21]

5x ÷ x² - 9 + 7 ÷ x + 3

Write the division as a fraction:

\frac{5x}{x^{2} }\\ - 9 + \frac{7}{x} + 3

Simplify the expression:

\frac{5}{x} - 9 + \frac{7}{x} + 3

Calculate the sum:

\frac{5}{x} - 6 + \frac{7}{x}

Write all numerators above the common denominator:

\frac{5 - 6x + 7}{x}

Add the numbers and you get the final answer:

\frac{12-6x}{x}
