current age?

The age of Joey is 4 years  and

The age of Martina is 22 years .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Martina is 18 years older than her Joey

In 5 years, Martina will be three times older than Joey

Let The age of Martina = M years

And The age of Joey = J years

Now, According to questions

M = J + 18          1

(M+5) = 3 × (J+5)

Or, M + 5 = 3 J + 15

Or, M - 3 J = 15 - 5

∴ M - 3 J = 10                2

Solving eq 1 and 2

Put the value of M from eq 1 into eq 2

So, (J + 18) - 3 J = 10

Or, J - 3 J = 10 - 18

Or, - 2 J = - 8

∴ J =

i.e J = 4 years

So, The age of Joey = J = 4 years

Now, Put the value of J in eq 1

So, M = J + 18

Or, M = 4 + 18

∴ M = 22 years

So, The age of Martina = M = 22 years

Hence,The age of Joey is 4 years  and The age of Martina is 22 years . Answer

the correct answer is a) "catholic church".

the proposals that liberals in mexico made during 1855 were particularly focused on a person's individual rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and the right to possess weapons.

when the constitution was formally published 2 years later (1857). it also contained an article which permitted education free from any religious influence, the removal of the catholic church institutional privileges, and the sale of property belonging to the church. all of these provisions were clearly against the catholic church interests.
