Why do i keep asking questions? i don’t know i need with number 5. i need and equation! answer quick and thorough. last question for the

Would surely like to see you begin the problem solution yourself and to share what you have done.

Let the girl's age be J and the father's F.

J=5 and F=42 now.

In x years, the father will be twice as old as the girl.

We write that as   F + x = 2( J + x), or 42 + x = 2( 5 + x)

Then 42 + x = 10 + 2x      => x = 32

check:  is 42+32 = 2(5+32)?   Is 74 = 2(37)?  YES.
