Answer:
Afful is 21 and Naomi is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]A[/tex] represent the age of Afful and [tex]N[/tex] represent the age of Naomi.
The sum of their ages is 34. In other words:
[tex]A+N=34[/tex]
In 5 years time, Afful will be two times the age of Naomi now. In other words:
[tex]A+5=2N[/tex]
Solve for the system. Substitute.
[tex]A+N=34\\A=34-N\\34-N+5=2N\\39=3N\\N=13\\\\A=34-N\\A=34-(13)\\A=21[/tex]
Afful is currently 21 and Noami is currently 13.
Answer:
Naomi=x
Afful=2x
In 5 years time= +5
So Naomi=x+5
and and Afful=2x+5
=x+5+2x+5=34
=3x+10=34
Subtract 10 on both sides
3x=24
Divide 3 on both sides
X=8
Check:
X=8
Naomi=16
In 5 years
=16+5=21
Naomi=8+5=13
13+21=34
