Answer 2

Answer:

Age of Jacob is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Jacob = x years and age of Kinsley = y years

Then by first statement " Kinsley's age is 7 years less than twice of Jacob's age"

y = 2x - 7

By second statement " Kensley is 13 years old "

y = 3 years

By putting y = 13 years in the equation

13 = 2x - 7

2x = 13 + 7

2x = 20

x = $\frac{20}{2}$ = 10 years

Therefore, age of Jacob is 10 years.
