Answer 1

Hola..❤

Ur answer ⬇️⬇️

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

Thanks ✌✌

$\huge\bold\red{ANSWER}$

Suppose two years ago my brother's age was = x
Then, my age was = 3x

Three years from now ,my brother's age will be = (x + 2 +3) = ( x +5) years.
My age will be (3x + 2+3)=(3x+5) years.

But it is given that i will be twice as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)=(3x+5) or x+5 years.
So my brother's present age is 5+ 2= 7 years
And my age 5*3+2=17 years.
