Milla is 12 years younger    THAN  Louis.
In 18 years, she will be two thirds his age. What is Louis' current age?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


In other words, in 18 years, Luis will be 12 years older than Milla and she will be 2/3 of his age.


It means that the difference 12 years of their ages at that time will be 1/3 of the Luis' age.


Hence, in 18 years, Luis will be 36 years old, while Milla will be 36-12 = 24 years old.


So now, Luis is 36-18 = 18 years old.    ANSWER.

Solved.
