Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m and v represent Mariya's and Vikram's agess now.
m + 6 = v . . . . . . in 6 years Mariya will be as old as Vikram is now
(v +2) = 3(m +2) . . . . in 2 years, Vikram will be 3 times Mariya's age
Using the first equation to substitute for v in the second equation, we have ...
m +6 +2 = 3m +6
2 = 2m . . . . . subtract m+6
1 = m
Mariya is 1; Vikram is 1+6 = 7.
