Answer:

21:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Lori (x) is 8 years old.

In 5 years (x + 5), Philip will be twice Lori's age (y + 5 = 2(x + 5))

The missing value, y, is needed to find the ratio for Lori's and Philip's ages in the present. To find y, solve this equation:

y + 5 = 2(x + 5)   First, distribute the 2 into x + 5.

y + 5 = 2x + 10   Next, isolate the variable y by subtracting 5 from both sides.

y = 2x + 5           After that, add in the value of x, 8.

y = 2(8) + 5         Finally, simplify the right side to find Philip's age.

y = 16 + 5

y = 21

Now for the easiest part: The ratio of Philip's age now to Lori's age now.

because 21 is not divisible by any of 8's factors, the current ratio of 21:8 cannot be simplified further.

So, the ratio is 21:8
