Answer: 25 , 10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the present age of Artie and Carrie is x and y
According to the question, 5 years ago
[tex]\Rightarrow x-5=4(y-5)\\\Rightarrow x-4y=-15\quad \ldots(i)\\[/tex]
In five year time
[tex]\Rightarrow x+5=2(y+5)\\\Rightarrow x-2y=5\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]
Solving (i) and (ii) we get
[tex]x=25,y=10[/tex]
The current age of Artie and Carrie is 25 and 10 years
