mike and jasmine has a combined age of 30

mike is 3 years younger and twice jasmine's age

Let mike age is x

According to the question we can write it as

mike age = x

Her brother age =2x - 3

so there combined age are

x+(2x - 3) = 30

x + 2x -3 =30

3x = 30 + 3

3x = 33

x=33/3

x=11

So mike age is 11 years

Hence mike is 11 years old
