Answer:
Sum of their present ages = 20 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Present age :
Neha's age = x years
Reemas' age = x - 4
After 5 years:
Neha's age = (x +5) years
Reemas' age = (x - 4 + 5 ) = x + 1
Sum of the ages of Reema and Neha will be 30
Therefore,
x + 5 + x + 1 = 30
x + x + 5 + 1 = 30
2x + 6 = 30
2x = 30 - 6
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12
Neha's age = 12 years
Reema's age = 12 - 4 = 8 years
Sum of their present ages = 12 + 8 = 20 years
