Question 123284
Let bobs age be "x" yrs.


So, therefore Jeans age = 2x


Given that sum of their ages 3 yrs ago was 45 yrs


(x + 2x) - 3 = 45 


3x - 3 = 45 


3(x - 1) = 45


(x - 1) = 45/3 


x - 1 = 15 


x = 15 + 1


x = 16 yrs 


This is Bobs age 


So therefore Jeans age is:


2(x) = 2(16) 


= 32 yrs 


Jeans age is 32 yrs. 


these are their current ages.
