Let's assume John's age is x.

Therefore, Peter's age would be x + 12.

Given that the sum of their ages is 45, we can write the equation:

x + (x + 12) = 45
2x + 12 = 45
2x = 33
x = 16.5

Since age cannot be in decimals, we can conclude that John is 16 years old and Peter is 28 years old.

Let John's age be x years.
Then, Peter's age = (x + 12) years
Given that, Peter’s and John’s ages is 45 years.
Therefore, x + (x + 12) = 45
⇒ 2x + 12 = 45
⇒ 2x = 45 – 12
⇒ 2x = 33
⇒ x = 33/2
⇒ x = 16.5 years
∴ John's age = 16.5 years and Peter's age = 16.5 + 12 = 28.5 years.
