Question 155205
this year your brother james will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister jenny. 
Let Jenny's age be "x":
Then James age is "2x-2"
------------------------------

The sum of james age and 3 times jennys age is 66. How old is Jenny?

EQUATION:
2x-2 + 3x = 66

5x = 68
x = 13 3/8 years
