Answer 2

Answer:

The boy's age = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given data

The boy replies, "In two years I will be twice as old as I was five years ago."  

here we need to find the boy's age

Let x be the boy's present age

now gave a mathematical expression to the above statement

here he said in two years he will be twice as old as he was five years ago

after his age will be = x+2

5 years ago his age = x-5  

from above statement   x+2 = 2(x-5)

                                       x+2 = 2x - 10

                                      2x - x = 10 +2

                                       x = 12
