Let the present age of b = x years
a is 9 years elder than b.
Therefore present age of a = x + 9 years
Age of a after 10 years = x + 9 + 10 = x + 19 years
Age of b before 10 years = x - 10 years
Given that the age of a after 10 years is twice as the age of b before 10 years
Therefore
x + 19 = 2(x - 10)
x + 19 = 2x - 20
2x - x = 20 + 19
x = 39 years
The present age of b = 39 years.
Hope this helps you.
