Answer:
Age of Jose = 5 years
Age of Adrian = 13 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let:
Age of Jose = x
Age of Adrian = x+8
After 3 years
Age of Jose = x+3
Age of Adrian = x+8+3 = x+11
Now, we are given, in 3 years he will be twice as old as his brother.
So, we can write
Age of Adrian = 2 (Age of Jose)
x+11 = 2(x+3)
x+11=2x+6
2x-x=11-6
x=5
So, we get value of x = 5
Now, the present ages will be:
Age of Jose = x = 5 years
Age of Adrian = x+8 = 5+8 = 13 years
