Question 1198791

<pre>
Ben is three times as old as Ann today. 

B = 3A


In 5 years' time, the sum of their ages will be 38 years. 

(B+5) + (A+5) = 38

What
is the age of Ben today?

Solve the system of equations:

{{{system(B=3A,(B+5)+(A+5)=38)}}}

Do you know how?  If not, post again asking how.
