Ответ:
k+5=2(j+5)
k+5=2j+10
k+5-2j=10
k-2j=5
since we know that right know Kate is 11 years older than Joey, you can write the equation k+j=11. Since you know have two equations with with the same variable, you can make a system of equations as fallows:
k-2j=5
k+j=11
Since you need to figure out how old Joey is, you need to somehow get k to cancel out. The easiest thing to do for this problem is to is multiply the top equation by -1 to get:
-k+2j=-5 (you have to add the bottom equation to the top equation)
k+j=11 (-k+k=0, 2j+j=3j, and -5+11=6)
Since k got canceled out, you are left with the equation 3j=6 which means j=2.
Therefore, Joey's current age is 2.
I hope this helps.
