Answer:

40 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Uncle Jason's age = x
Nephew Ralph age = y

<h3>Solution</h3>

x= 2y

<u>Age 10 years ago: </u>

x- 10 = 3(y-10)

<u>Substituting x in the second equation:</u>

2y - 10 = 3y - 30
3y - 2y = 30 -10
y = 20

<u>Then, finding x:</u>

x= 2y
x= 2*20
x= 40

<u>Answer:</u> Uncle Jason is 40 and nephew Ralph is 20 years old
