Step-by-step explanation:

let Geraldine’s age = x year

Five years ago. Nick’s age was 1/4 of Geraldine’s age.

then

Nick’s present age =x/4 + 5

their sum of age = 65

 \frac{x}{4}  + 5 + x = 65 \\  \frac{x}{4}  + x = 65 - 5 \\  \frac{x + 4x}{4}  = 60 \\ 5x = 60 \times 4 \\ x =  \frac{60 \times 4}{5}  \\ x = 12 \times 4 \\ x = 48

x = 48year

Geraldine’s age= 48year
