Which part did you not understand?

As we don’t know their age, hence we use x and y as a representation of their age.

Given that Joshua is 8 years younger than Elhenne, hence the age of elhenne ,y, substract Joshua’s age ,x, will give you 8.

Furthermore, the question say that after 4 years, the sum of their age will be 50.
So, x + 4 + y + 4 = 50.

Now we can solve the algebra and hence get x (Joshua’s age) = 17 and elhenne’s age = 17 +8 = 25 years old

1 km = 1000 cm = 1 * 10^3 cm

We will need to make the units the same before further calculation.

Oops my bad. Sorry missed that section.

2.5* 10^10 cm = 25 000 km^2

1cm^2 = (1000)^2 km^2 = 1.0*10^6 km^2
