    M=12+b

    m-3=5 (b-3)

    sub 12+b for m

    12+b-3=5 (b-3)

    expand and combine like terms

    b+9=5b-15

    minus 4b both sides

    9=4b-15

    add 15 both sidse

    24=4b

    divide by 4

    6=b

    barney is 6

    moe is 18

    3 years ago, barney is 3 and moe is 15, 3*5=15

    barney is 6 now
