Let N be Nando's age and B be his brother's age.
1. Age relationship now.
2. Age relationship in ten years.
Use equation 1 to solve equation 2 by substitution

Substitute back into equation 1.

Let's verify
1. Age relationship now.
29=3*7+8
29=29
Good answer
2. Age relationship in ten years.
29+10=2*(7+10)+5
39=2*17+5
39=39
Good answer.
