Alexa_78 - 26.01.2016 21:59David 's age = x Brandon 's age = x-3 David 's age in five years = x+6 Brandon 's age in five years = x-3+6 The sum of their ages in five years = x+6 + x-3+6 x + 6 + x - 3 + 6 = 45 2x + 9 = 45 -9 -9 2x = 36 :2 :2 x = 18 x - 3 = 15 David is 18 years old and Brandon is 15 years old
