Answer 1

Kim 40 years old and daughter 15 years old

Answer 2

Answer:

Mr.Kim is presently 40 years old, and his daughter is 15 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

K is Mr Kim's present age

D=his daughter's present age.

K=D+25 ; or Mr.Kim is his daughter's age plus 25 years.

K+10=2(D+10); or in 10 years, Mr Kim will be twice daughters age

Substitute the K from the first equation into the second equation and then solve for variable D.

(D+25)+10 = 2(D+10) Simplify.

D+35 = 2D+20 You must subtract D from both sides.

35 = D+20 Lastly, subtract 20 from both sides.

15 = D or D = 15

Mr Kim's daughter's is 15 years old.

Mr Kim's age is D+25

15+25 = 40 years old.
