Step-by-step explanation:
Jakes age = x yrs
jan's age = 2x yrs
equation => 2x + x = 5x – 48
=> 3x = 5x – 48
=> 5x – 3x = 48
=> 2x = 48
=> x = 48/2
=> x = 24
.•. Jakes age = 24 yrs
.•. Jan's age = 48 yrs
Answer:
Jack is 5. Since Jan is twice Jack's age, she is 10. Checking our answer :the sum of their ages (5+10=15) is five less than twice Jan's age (20)
