Question

Marks age next year will be three times jims age from 2 years ago. If the sum of their ages now is 21, how old are they? plz help, I am gonna get killed by my parents.

Answer 1

Answer: Mark is 14 and Jim is 7.

Step-by-step explanation: It says that next year Mark will be threee times older than Jim was 2 years ago.

The wrk is:

7-2=5(Jims age 2 years ago)

5x3=15

15-1=14(you subtract 1 because Mark's current age is 14 because it says that next year it will be 3 times Jim's)
