Answer:
Given below
Step-by-step explanation:
M is Mikey and B is Betty in,
Current ages:
M= x
B= 3x (cuz she is 3 times older)
After 5 years
M= x+5
B= 3x+5 (5 years added to present age)
It says the ages of Betty after 5 years (3x+5) will be twice as much as Mikey (2(X+5))
So,
3x+5 = 2(x+5)
3x+5 = 2x+10
3x -2x = 10-5
x = 5
Therefore,
The current ages are
Betty : 3x = 3*5 = 15
Mikey: 5 (x)
