E + 10 = P
(P + 5) = 2(E +5)

E = P -10

P + 5 = 2((P-10)+5)
P + 5 = 2P -20 + 10
P + 5 =2P - 10
-P = -15
P = 15

Answer:

Elli's present age is 5 years and Peggy's present age is 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Elli's present age be x

After 10 years Elli's age = x+10

Since we are given that Elli’s age in 10 years will be the same as Peggy’s age is now.

So, Peggy's present age = x+10

After 5 years

Elli's age will be x +5

Peggy's age = x+10 +5= x+15

Now we are given that Five years from now, Peggy’s age will be twice Elli’s age.

So, x+15=2(x+5)

x+15=2x+10

x=5

So, Elli's present age = 5 years

Peggy's present age = x+10 =5+10 = 15 years

Thus Elli's present age is 5 years and Peggy's present age is 15 years.
