Let age of Rohit’s brother be x years.
So according to the question , Rohit’s age = twice his brother = 2x years
Sum of their ages = 24 years
=> x + 2x = 24
=> 3x = 24
=> x = 24/3 ( here we transpose the 3 being multiplied on left hand side to divide on right hand side)
=> x = 8 years
=> 2x = 8 x 2 = 16 years
So Rohit’s brother’s age is 8 years and Rohit’s age is 16 years👍
