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.
