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):
Solve using basic algebra.
Then remember the question asks for their ages in 2014....
