    B:S = 4x:3x

    4x - 3x = 3

    x = 3

    They were 12 & 9.

    Add 5 to that.

    So he's now 17 and she's 14

    five years ago - - boy - x+3 years

    sister - - - x

    ratio- - 4:3 so difference is 3 years

    4-3- - 1 1--3

    five years ago - - - sister : 3*3--9 brother : 4*3--12

    present : sister 14 years and brother 17 years old
