is susan now?

Susan is 3 years  and Debbie is 8 years old. after 2 years Susan will be 5 Years and Debbie will be 10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age of Susan be x years then Debbie is x+5 years

in 2 years

x +2 = x+5+2/2

x+2=x+7/2

2x +4 = x+7

x=3

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
