Answer:

Michael is 21 years old while Jean is 7 years old.

Explanation:

Given that Micheal is three times as old as Jean, but in seven years he will be twice old as she will be, to determine how old are they both at this time, the following calculation must be performed:

M = 3J

M + 7 = 2J + 7

7 = 1/3

7 x 3 = 21

21 + 7 = 28

7 + 7 = 14

21 / 7 = 3

28 / 14 = 2

Therefore, Michael is 21 years old while Jean is 7 years old.
