**
let x=present age of twin sisters
x+5=present age of Nono
3 yrs ago:
x-3=age of twin sisters
5 yrs from now:
x+5+5=x+10=Nono's age
2(x-3)=x+10
2x-6=x+10
x=16=present age of twin sisters
x+5=21=present age of Nono
12 yrs from now:
age of twin sisters=16+12=28
age of Nono=21+12=43
..
let x=cathy's present age
x+6=chris' present age
in two years:
x+2=cathy's age
x+6+2=x+8=chris' age
x+8=2(x+2)=2x+4
x=4=cathy's present age
x+6=10=chris' present age
5 yrs from now:
cathy's age=4+5=9
chris' age=10+5=15
