Martina is currently 18 years older than her cousin Joey. In 5 years she will be 3 times as old as Joey . Use this information to answer the following questions. If you let x represent Joey's current age, what expression can you use to represent Martina's? PLEASE HELP
current age?

The age of Joey is 4 years  and

The age of Martina is 22 years .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Martina is 18 years older than her Joey

In 5 years, Martina will be three times older than Joey

Let The age of Martina = M years

And The age of Joey = J years

Now, According to questions

M = J + 18          1

(M+5) = 3 × (J+5)

Or, M + 5 = 3 J + 15

Or, M - 3 J = 15 - 5

∴ M - 3 J = 10                2

Solving eq 1 and 2

Put the value of M from eq 1 into eq 2

So, (J + 18) - 3 J = 10

Or, J - 3 J = 10 - 18

Or, - 2 J = - 8

∴ J =

i.e J = 4 years

So, The age of Joey = J = 4 years

Now, Put the value of J in eq 1

So, M = J + 18

Or, M = 4 + 18

∴ M = 22 years

So, The age of Martina = M = 22 years

Hence,The age of Joey is 4 years  and The age of Martina is 22 years . Answer
