Ted is 14 years old, and Ed is 21 years old option (B) is correct, if Ted, and Ed's age is also 3/2 times Ted's age.
What is a linear equation?
It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.
If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.
It is given that:
Ed is 7 years older than Ted, Ed's age is also 3/2 times Ted's age.
Let Ted's age is x years old
and Ed's age is (x + 7) years old:
From the data given in the question, the linear equation in two variables can be framed:
x + 7 = (3/2)x
(3/2)x - x = 7
x = 14 years
By substitution:
x + 7 = 14 + 7 = 21 years
Thus, Ted is 14 years old, and Ed is 21 years old option (B) is correct, if Ted, Ed's age is also 3/2 times Ted's age.
