hell......o dear friend are you in grade 9 or 10 th because I'm 10th......also this question from 9....I got this question in 9th grade......however I got the answer.......
Given,
x = 2y---- Eq 1
In five years,
x + 5 = y+5+2 ---- Eq 2
Substitute eq 1 in 2
2y + 5 = y + 7
y = 7 - 5 = 2 years.
x = 2y = 2×2 = 4 years.
The ages of Mary and her sister are 4 years and 2 years respectively.
or I will send you the answer in photo
