(1) +k+%2B+r+=+29+
(2) +%28+k+-+3+%29+-+%28+r+-+3+%29+=+5+
---------------------------
(2) +k+-+3+-+r+%2B+3+=+5+
(2) +k+-+r+=+5+
Add (1) and (2)
(1) +k+%2B+r+=+29+
(2) +k+-+r+=+5+
+2k+=+34+
+k+=+17+
and
(1) +k+%2B+r+=+29+
(1) +17+%2B+r+=+29+
(1) +r+=12+
------------------
+k+%2B+2+=+19+
+r+%2B+2+=+14+
In 2 years, kabur will be 19
In 2 years raj will be 14
