BEN IS 20 YEARS OLD and the MICHEAL IS 5 YEARS OLD.
How to find the solution to the given system of equation?
For that , we will try solving it first using the method of substitution in which we express one variable in other variable's form and then you can substitute this value in other equation to get linear equation in one variable.
If there comes a = a situation for any a, then there are infinite solutions.
If there comes wrong equality, say for example, 3=2, then there are no solutions, else there is one unique solution to the given system of equations.
It is given that Ben and Michael are brothers. Ben is four times as old as Michael and their combined ages are 25.
Let the age of Michael be x, so
Ben = 4x
Also the combined ages are 25.
4x + x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5
Therefore, BEN IS 20 YEARS OLD and the MICHEAL IS 5 YEARS OLD.
