DAY 226
At the time of his marriage, a man found his wife's age to be 3/4 of his age. After 12 years of marriage, he found it to be 5/6 of his age. Find their ages at the time they were married.

Answer:

The man was 24 and his wife 18...........If X is the man's age at the time of their marriage, and 3/4 X the age of his wife, then after 12 years............(3/4 X + 12) = 5/6 (X + 12).
