Ronny's father is 28 years older than ronny. Their combined age is 46. Write an expression to find Ronny's age

Given :

Ronny's father is 28 years older than ronny.

Their combined age is 46.

To do :

We have to write an expression to find ronny's age.

Solution :

Let the age of Ronny be x.

This implies,

Age of Ronny's father $= 28+x$

Their combined age is 46.

Therefore,

$x+(x+28) = 46$

$2x + 28 = 46$.

$2x = 46-28$

$x =\frac{18}{2}$

x = 9

Age of Ronny is 9 years.

The required expression is $2x + 28 = 46$.
