Answer:

We know that the sum of the ages of the 5 children is currently 20 years. We also know that the sum of their ages needs to be 40 years after some number of years.

Explanation:

We can set up an equation to represent this situation:

(Age1 + Age2 + Age3 + Age4 + Age5) + x = 40

Where x is the number of years in the future.

Since we know that the current sum of the ages of the children is 20, we can substitute that into the equation:

(Age1 + Age2 + Age3 + Age4 + Age5) + x = 40

20 + x = 40

To find the value of x, we can subtract 20 from both sides:

x = 40 - 20

x = 20

So, the sum of the ages of the five children will be 40 years after 20 years have passed.
