Jon is 14 years older than Philip.Two years from now,Jon will be 3 times as old as Philip.How old is each now?
J = 14 + P
J+2 = 3 (P+2) Sub in J = 14 + P
14 + P + 2 = 3P + 6
16+P = 3P + 6
10 = 2P
P = 5 then J = 14+P = 19
J = 14 + P
J+2 = 3 (P+2) Sub in J = 14 + P
14 + P + 2 = 3P + 6
16+P = 3P + 6
10 = 2P
P = 5 then J = 14+P = 19
