Jon is 14 years older than Philip. Two years from now, Jon will be 3 times as old as Philip. How old is each now?

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
