Let cynthia be "x" yrs. old
Kathie is "x+11" yrs old
-------------------
In 5yrs
Cynthia will be "x+5’ yrs old
Kathie will be x+11+5 = "x+16" yrs old
--------------------
EQUATION:
Katie= 2*Cynthia
x+16= 2(x+5)
x+16= 2x+10
x = 6 (Cynthia age NOW)
x+11 = 6+11=17 (Katie age NOW)
---------------------
