Jumoke is 11 years older than Am I na. In five years time Jumok3 will be twice as old as Amina. Find their ages
Let's assume Amina is currently x years old.
According to the given information, Jumoke is 11 years older than Amina, so Jumoke is x + 11 years old.
In five years, Amina's age will be x + 5, and Jumoke's age will be (x + 11) + 5 = x + 16.
According to the second statement, Jumoke will be twice as old as Amina in five years: x + 16 = 2(x + 5).
Expanding the equation, we get: x + 16 = 2x + 10
Subtracting x from both sides, we get: 16 = x + 10
Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get: 6 = x
Therefore, Amina is currently 6 years old.
In the first statement, we found that Jumoke is 11 years older than Amina, so Jumoke is 6 + 11 = 17 years old.
Thus, Amina is currently 6 years old and Jumoke is currently 17 years old.
