Problema Solution

katerina is twice as old as her friend Antonella. Antonella is 5 years older than Sofia. in 5 years, katerina will be three times as old as Sofia. How old is Antonella now?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let x = Antonella's age.

Then katerina's age is 2x.

Sofia's age is x-5.

 in 5 years, katerina will be three times as old as Sofia:

2x+5 = 3(x-5 + 5) 

2x+5 = 3x

5 = 3x -2x

x=5

ans: 5
