Hi,
in four years, cindy's age will be the same as tina's age now
Let x represent tina's age now, than cindy's is (x-4)
tina is an always will be 4 years older than cindy.
x = 2(x-4) in two years
x = 2x - 8
8 = x, tina's age in two years, tina is now 6 and cindy is 2 (6-4)
the age of cindy in 3 years is 2 + 3 = 5
