Equations::
r = 6j
r+12 = 2(j+12)
----
Substitute for "r" and solve for "j"::
6j+12 = 2j + 24
----
4j = 12
jenny is 3 yrs old now

Mandy is now twice Katy's age. In six years she will be 1 1/2 times Katy's age. How old is Katy? How old is Mandy?
Equation::
m = 2k
m+6 = (3/2)(k+6)
----
Substitute for "k" and solve for "m"::
m + 6 = (3/2)((m/2)+6)
-----
m+6 = (3/4)m + 9
---
(1/4)m = 3
Mandy's age = 12 yrs
