The sum of their ages in 2013 was 11. So let their two ages in 2013 be x and (11-x).

"In 2022, Kai Kai will be three times as old as Jia Jia was in 2013."

Kai Kai's age in 2022 will be x+9; that is 3 times Jia Jia's age in 2013, which is (11-x):

x%2B9+=+3%2811-x%29

Solve using basic algebra.

Then remember the question asks for their ages in 2014....
