(a) Bill is y years old
Ada is x years old
Last year Bill was 6x
Lets assume that Ada was 3 years old last year. Bill was 6(3) = 18
This year Ada will be 4 years old, and Bill will be 19.
Bill's age = 6(Ada's age) -5
19 = 6(4) -5
19=19
y=6x-5

(b) in 19 years time; Ada will be x+19, and Bill will be y + 19
They have stated that in 19 years time, Bill will be twice as old as Ada
2 (x+19) = y+19
SOLVE FOR y
y=2x+19

Thanks a lot bro !
