1. Answer:

   Akua now — x

   Ama now — 4x

   Akua in 10 years —- x+10

   Ama in 10 years —- 4x+10

   4x+10 = 2(x+10)

   solve for x

   let Ama’s age be X and Akua’s age be Y

   X=4Y…….

   X+10=(Y+10)2……

   4Y+10=2Y+20

   4Y-2Y=20-10

   2Y=10 divide both side by 2

   2Y/2=10/2

   Y=5

   X=4×5

   X=20

   therefore Ama =20years and Akua=5years

   hope it helps..
