I WILL GIVE 5 STAR AND BRAINLIEST IF 2 PEOPLE ANSWER! GIVE A GOOD ANSWER PLZ!!! Jenny is 12 years older than Steve. Five years ago, Jenny was four times older than Steve was then. How old are Jenny and Steve now?

The age of Jenny=21 years

The age of Steve=9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

So... Let's make their age into unknown variables so it's easier to decipher:

Jenny's age: x

Steve's age: y

If 5 years ago Jenny was four times older than Steve the equation would look like:

y+12-4y=-15

First, you add like terms:

y+12-4y=-15

y-4y=-15-12

Now isolate the unknown variable:

3y=-27

y=9

But this was 5 years ago, and Jenny is 12 years older than Steve so add those two together:

9+12=21

Hope this helped!

answer: 1) twenty-seven times y

              2) twenty-seven multiplied by y
