Answer: The older boy is now 20, the younger boy is now 10.
Step-by-step explanation: Explanation:
Let the age of the older boy now be y
let the age of the younger boy now be x
y = 2x
y-5 = 3(x-5)
simplifying
y = 3x - 10
substituting for y in equation 1
2x = 3x-10
simplifying
x = 10
substituting into 1
y = 20
