Answer:
• Bill = 3 years
,
• Hoang = 8 years.
Explanation:
Let the time Bill had worked in the hospital = b years.
Hoang has worked for 5 years longer than her friend Bill, therefore:
• The time ,Hoang, had worked in the hospital = (b+5) years.
Two years ago:
• Bill's Time = (b-2) years
,
• Hoang's Time = (b+5-2) years
Two years ago she had been at the hospital for twice as long as Bill.
[tex]\implies b+5-2=2b[/tex]
Solve the equation for b:
[tex]\begin{gathered} b+5-2=2b \\ b+3=2b \\ 2b-b=3 \\ b=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hoang has been at the hospital for 8 years and Bill has been there 3 years.
