Given:
Age of Sheila and Sanjay 10 years before.
To find:
Present age of Sheila and Sanjay.
______________________________________
Let the present age of Sheila= x+15
Let the present age of Sanjay= x
Sheila's age:- x+15+10=x+25
Sanjay's age:- x+10
x+25=2(x+10)
x+25=2x+20
x-2x=20-25
-x = -5
We'll cut the negative signs here:-
x= 5 years
So present age of Sheila= 5+15= 20 years
Present age of Sanjay= 5 years
