Nikhil has worked at the firm for 20 years, whereas Mae has been there for just 4.

What is ?

Generally, the equation for statements is mathematically given as

5y = 8+3y

2y=8

Therefore

y=4 (Age in years for Mae)

For Nikhil

x=5*4

x= 20 years

In conclusion, their ages are given below as

y=4

x= 20 years
