Answer:

  • Hank: 17
  • Sister: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Five years ago the sum of their ages was 10 less than it is now, so was 33. If Hank was half his sister's age, his age was 1/3 of this total. 5 years ago, Hank was 11 and his sister was 22.

Next year, both will be 6 years older than those ages, so ...

  Hank will be 17

  Hank's sister will be 28
