Let’s assume that age of Timmy is x yrs.
Then we can conclude that age of Tommy is =
(23 -x) yrs.

Now we know that Timmy is 5 years older than Tommy, therefore,
x = 5 + (23-x)
x = 5 + 23 - x
x + x = 28
2x = 28
x = 28/2
x = 14 Answer. (Age of Timmy)

So, the age of Tommy is 23 - x = 23 - 14 = 9 yrs.

Answer:

Tommy's age is 9 years old.

Timmy's age is 14 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take Tommy's age to be x and Timmy's age to be x+5

x+x+5=23

2x+5=23

2x=23-5=18

x=18÷2=9

x+5=9+5=14
