Question

When Luke, the new kid, asked how old Annabelle was, she replied, "In two years, I'll be twice as old as I was five years ago."

How old is Annabelle?

Answer 1

Let current age of Reema is x years.
according to question,
after two years Reema's age=(x + 2)
and five years ago Reema's age=(x -5)

SO,
according o condition,
2 * ( x - 5) = (x +2 )
2x-10=x +2
2x-x =2+10
x=12

hence Reema's current age=x=12 years

Answer 2

x+2 = 2*(x-5)
x+2=2*x-10
x = 12 .
