Nancy is 5 years younger than her brother stan. last year she was twice as young as he was. how old is each of them now?

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Stan be x.

Then age of Nancy = y

x - y = 5

Last year she was twice as young as he was

Age of Nancy last year = y-1

Age of Stan last year = x-1

2 × (y-1)= x-1

2y -2 = 5 + y -1

y = 6

x = y + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.
