lyn is 7 years old.

rose is 2 years less than twice as old as lyn.

what is the sum of their ages in 5 years?

rose is 2 years less than twice as old as 7.

twice as old as 7 is 14.

2 less than 14 is 12.

that makes her age = 12.

lyn is 7.
rose is 12.

the sum of their ages now is 19.

in 5 years, lyn will be 12 and rose will be 17.

the sum of their ages in 5 years will be 29.
