Question

Tshepo is five years older than two times Tanya's age. Jake is three times as old as Tshepo. If Jake is forty five, then how old are Tshepo and Tanya?

Answer 1

Tanya ---- x
Tshepo ---- 2x+5
jake = 3(2x+5)

solve:
3(2x+5) = 45

then sub the value of x into my definitions.
What did you get?

Answer 2

Tanya = 5
Tshepo = 15
