in 4 years jim's age will be the same with jen's now. two years from now jem's age will be twice as old as jim. find their ages

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent jen's age and 'y' represent jim's age


(y+4) = x

(x+2) = 2(y+2)

solving this system we have:

x = 6

y = 2


jim is 2 years old, jem is 6 years old
