Answer:
HEY!! LETS SOLVE!!
Explanation:
To solve this problem, let's start by finding Tom's current age. We are given that Sam is 5 years old, and Tom is three times as old as Sam. Therefore, Tom's current age is 5 * 3 = 15 years old.
Next, we need to determine the age difference between Sam and Tom. Sam will be 20 years old in the future, so we can calculate the age difference by subtracting Sam's current age from his future age: 20 - 5 = 15 years.
Since Tom is currently 15 years old, he will have the same age difference as Sam. So, in the future, when Sam is 20 years old, Tom will be 15 years older than him.
Adding the age difference of 15 years to Sam's future age of 20, we can determine Tom's future age: 20 + 15 = 35.
Therefore, when Sam is 20 years old, Tom will be 35 years old.
The correct answer is d. 25
