Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent Mark's age and j represent Jeffrey's age.

Mark is five years older than Jeffrey. Hence:

[tex]m=j+5[/tex]

The sum of Mark's age and triple Jeffrey's age is 73. In other words:

[tex]m+3j=73[/tex]

We can substitute:

[tex](j+5)+3j=73[/tex]

Therefore, our answer is C.
