From the question, were have the present age of alex as: 10 years.

five years ago, Alex was (10-5)years

we are told that peter was 3 times as old as alex. so, the age of peter, five years ago was (5*3) = 15 years

the current age of peter is: 15+5 = 20years.

in the next three years, the age of Peter will be: 20+3

        = 23years

in the next three years, Peter will be 23 years
