-> shimaran's age now
-> shimaran's son's age now
By "shimaran is twice as ols as her son" we have that:

"in four years she will be four times as old as her son was 9 years ago"
shimaran's age in four years -> x+4
shimaran's son's age 9 years ago -> y-9

As shimaran's age is twice her son's age, 2y is the same as x.

As shimaran's age is twice her son's age, . Problem solved!
