Jenny is 8 and sammie is 17

Answer:

Jenny's age = 8 yr

Sam's age = 17 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Jenny's age now

then x + 9 = Sam's age now

x - 5 = Jenny's age 5 years ago

x + 9 - 5 = x + 4 = Sam's age 5 years ago

4(x - 5) = x + 4

4x - 20 = x + 4

3x = 24

x = 8 = Jenny's age now

x + 9 = 8 + 9 = 17 Sam's age now

Check:  5 yrs ago Jenny was 3 and Sam was 12

4(3) = 12, so the answer is correct.
