Answer:

Brian is 5, and Sharon is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

CURRENT AGES:

  Let   b = Brian's age

  Let 2b = Sharon's age

5 YEARS FROM NOW:

  b + 5 = Brian's age

  2b + 5 = Sharon's age

  The sum will be 25

  b + 5 + 2b + 5 = 25

  3b + 10 = 25

  3b = 15

   b = 5

So Brian is 5, and Sharon is 10
