PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIST

Step-by-step explanation:

present ages x and y (jumpa and ali)

3 year ago x-3 and y-3

3 (x-3)= y-3

3x-9= y-3

3x-y=6............(1)

After 2 years:

Jumpa's age= x+2, Ali's age= y+2

x+3+y+2=62

x+y=58.................(2)

solve (1) &( 2)

Adding --→

4x=64

x=16

x+y=58

16+y=58

y= 58-16

y=42

x= 16 & y= 42

Jumpa's present age = 16

Ali's present age = 42
