Answer:

Trina is 13

Kieth is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 = Kieth's age

Divide by 2 to separate the ages:

62 ÷ 2 = 31

Subtract the difference in ages:

31 - 5 = 26

Add the 5 years to Kieth's age:

31 + 5 = 36

Divide by 2 again, to eliminate the twice of their ages

26 ÷ 2 = 13

36 ÷ 2 = 18

Trina is 13

Kieth is 18
