D-18 years, Joan-41 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The Sum of Debbie and Joan's age is 59

Take x and y as the age of Debbie and Joan

In 5 years, twice Debbie's age will be equal to Joan's age

$\Rightarrow 2(x+5)=y+5$

$\Rightarrow 2x+10=y+5\\\Rightarrow 2x-y=-5$

Also, x+y=59

solving these two equations we get

$\Rightarrow x=18;y=41$
