   Age of Marge is 18 years

   Age of Consuelo is 9 years

   Solution:–

   Let Age of Marge be m and age of Conauelo be c

   Given that m = 2c

   7 Years ago Age of Marge was m -7

   So we can write as:-

   m – 7 + c – 7 = 13

   By plugging the value of m = 2c

   We get:-

   2c + c = 27

   Therefore;Age of Consuelo is 9 years

   m = 2c = 2 × 9 = 18

   And Age of Marge is 18 years
