Company A has been in business for 10 years more than its rival Company B. 2 years ago, Co. B had been in business for only half as long as Co. A at the time. In 3 years time, what is the number of years that Co. B will have been in business for?

Sorry, thats all I was given as the question. And the answer to it was '15 years'.

And your work and reasoning so far are... what?

Since Company A's age was defined in terms of Company B's, you picked a variable for B's age, created an expression for A's age, translated the given relationships into expressions and equations, and... then what?

Please be complete. Thank you! :D
