Answer = 12

Explanation:
Let x be Timothy’s present age.
The, Adele’s present age = x+5

After 3 years, Timothy’s age = x+3
Adele’s age = x+5+3 = x+8

According to the question, we have

x + 3 = 2/3 (x+8)

3(x + 3) = 2x + 16

3x + 9 = 2x + 16

3x - 2x = 19 - 9

x = 7

Therefore, Timothy’s current age is 7 years and Adele’s current age is 12 years
