Two years ago, Jared was twice as old as Tom. If Tom will be 30 in five years, how old is Jared now?
How old is Tom now? ** Tom will be 30 in 5 years so now he is 30-5 = <<30-5=25>>25
How old was Tom 2 years ago? ** 2 years ago Tom was 25-2 = <<25-2=23>>23
How old was Jared 2 years ago? ** At that time, Jared was twice as old as Tom so Jared was 23*2 = 46
How old is Jared now? ** Two years have since passed so Jared is now 46+2 = <<46+2=48>>48
#### 48
