Harry is x years old now.

Harry was x-3 years old three years ago.

Three years ago, Jenny was 2(x-3)=2x-6 years old.

Now, Jenny is 2x-6+3 years old.

In three years time, Jenny will be 2x-6+3+3=2x years old.

In three years time, Ahmed will be 5(2x)= 10x years old.

Hope this helped you-have a good day bro cya)
