carol is 5 times as old as her brother she will be three times as old as her brother in two years how old is carol now

  Let x be the age of Carol
y be the brothers age
x=5y ---equation 1
x+2=3(y+2) ---equation 2
substitute equation 1 to 2
5y+2=3y+6
5y-3y=6-2
2y=4
y=2
substitute to equation 1
x=5y
x=5(2)
x=10
therefore Carol is 10yrs old
