Answer:

5.5 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D represent present age of Robert's dog and C represent present age of Karen's cat.

We have been given that Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. We can represent this information in an equation as:

D=C+4...(1)

We are also told that in 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. After 3 years age of dog and cat would be D+3 and C+3 respectively.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

D+3+C+3=13...(2)

From equation (1), we will get:

C=D-4

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

D+3+D-4+3=13

Combine like terms:

2D+2=13

2D+2-2=13-2

2D=11

\frac{2D}{2}=\frac{11}{2}

D=5.5

Therefore, Robert's dog is 5.5 years old right now.
