Answer:

Leo is 10, Jenny is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Jenny's current age is j, and that Leo's current age is l. With this, we can set up the following equations:

j=2l

j-5=3(l-5)

Let's use substitution and plug the first equation into the second one:

(2l)-5=3(l-5)

2l-5=3l-15

l=10

j=20

Hope this helps!
