Answer:

Joseph's present age=3 yrs

David's present age=9 yrs

Explanation:

Let Joseph's present age be x.

David's present age=3x

__________________

Ater 3 yrs,

Joseph's age=x+3

David's age=2(x+3)

Also, we can add 3 to David's present age to get age After 3 yrs. So, David's age after 3 yrs would also be 3x+3.

Now, balance them.

3x+3=2(x+3)

3x+3=2x+6

x=3

D"s prsent age=9

J's present age=3
