  1. A = 20 + B –(1)

    A = 6B

    substitute A = 6B in (1)

    6B – B = 20

    5B = 20

    therefore B = 4

    Substitute B = 4 in (1)

    A= 20 + 4

    THEREFORE A = 24 , B = 4

  2. Step-by-step explanation:

    A is 20 years older than B. Hence,A is x + 20 years old . A is also six time as old as B. Hence,age of A is 24 years and age of B is 4 years .
