    John's father is 5 times older than John

    F = 5J

    John is twice as old as his sister Alice.

    J = 2A or A =.5J

    In two years time, the sum of their ages will be

    58. F+2 + J+2 + A+2 = 58F + J + A + 6 = 58

    F + J + A = 58 - 6

    F + J + A = 52:

    How old is John now?:Substitute for F & A

    5J + J +.5J = 52

    6.5J = 52

    J = 52/6.5

    J = 8 yrs

    John is 8 years old
