Philip is 5 years old and Jon is 19 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Let x be the age of Philip Now
Since Jon is 14 years older than Philip,
Age of Jon = 14 + x
Step 2 :
After 2 years,
Age of Philip = x+ 2
Age of Jon = 14+x+2 = 16+x
Step 3 :
Given that in 2 years, Jon will be 3 times as old as Philip.
So we have 16 + x =3(x+2)
=> 16 + x = 3x +6
=> 2x = 10 = x = 5
Hence age of Philip is 5 years
Age of jon = x + 14 = 5+ 14 =19 years
