Chris is 6 yrs older than kathy. In 2 yrs Chris will be twice s old as kathy. Find their ages in 5 yrs from now.
------
Equation:
c = k + 6
c+2 = 2(k+2)
------------
Substitute for "c" and solve for "k"::
k+6 + 2 = 2k + 4
-----
k = 4 (kathy's age now)
------
c = k+6 = 4+6 = 10 yrs (Chris's age now)
