Answer:

Sum of ages is 35

Since there are two persons and it says four years from now, each year 2 more years will be added on to the 35 so year 1: 2years Year 2:4years Year 3:6years Year 4 : 8years

35+8= 43

Remember that Melanie will be 5 years older ( which she should have already been)

so 43+5= 48 ( Melanie's age)

and 48-5 = 43 ( Her brother's age)
