In five years, Angela will be the age that Khalil is now. In three years, Kahlil will be twice as old as Angela. How old are they now?

Answer 1

Let's assume that Angela's current age is A and Khalil's current age is K.

According to the problem, in five years, Angela will be the age that Khalil is now. This can be represented as A + 5 = K.

Also, in three years, Kahlil will be twice as old as Angela. This can be represented as K + 3 = 2(A + 3).

Simplifying the equations:

A + 5 = K (eqn 1)
K + 3 = 2(A + 3) (eqn 2)

Expanding eqn 2, we get:
K + 3 = 2A + 6
K - 2A = 3 (eqn 3)

Substituting the value of K from eqn 1 to eqn 3, we get:
A + 5 - 2A = 3
-A = 3 - 5
-A = -2
A = 2

Now substituting the value of A in eqn 1, we get:
2 + 5 = K
K = 7

Therefore, Angela is currently 2 years old and Khalil is currently 7 years old.
