    Brooke is 8 years old! This is what I did⬇️

    5x2=10. (In 5 yrs 10 will add to the sum of their age.

    29-10=19. (The sum of their ages right now is 19)

    11 + 8 = 19 (11 is 3 more than 8 and it equals their ages together)

    Brooke:8

    Samantha:11

    The sim of their age will be 19 NOT 29

    s = Samantha

    s-3=Brooke

    In 5 years:

    Samantha = s+5

    Brooke (s-3) + 5 = (s+2)

    (s+5) + (s+2) = 29

    2s = 7 = 27

    2s=22

    s=11 Samantha = 11

    Brooke = 11-3 = 8 8+11=19
