Kristine is 4 years younger than Mario. 3 years from now she will be two thirds as old as Mario. Find their present age.
***
let x=Kristine's present age
x+4=Mario's present age
3 yrs from now:
x+3=Kristine's age
x+4+3=x+7=Mario's age
..

3x+9=2x+14
x=5
x+4=9
Kristine's present age=5
Mario's present age=9
