Q: what are their age in 3yrs. from Now? Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=Josephine's age in three years
Then x+17=Hilda's age in three years
Sooo
x+17=2x subtract x from each side
x=17----Josephine's age in three years
x+17=17+17=34---Hilda's age in three years
Hope this helps---ptaylor
