Answer:
41 and 77
Explanation:
x: his age the first time he went to space
y: his age the second time he went to space
the second time he went to space he was 5 years younger than twice the age when he went his first time, then:
y = 2x - 5
the sum of both ages is 118, then:
x + y = 118
If you replace y = 2x - 5 in x + y =118:
x + 2x - 5 = 118
3x = 123
x = 41
replacing x:
41 + y = 118
y = 118 - 41
y = 77
so when he was 77, he was 5 years younger than twice 41 ( 41*2 = 82 => 82 - 5 =77)
