Danny was born 6 years before Noel. In 2000 Danny's age was 2 years more than 4 times the age of noel in 1995. How old is Noel in 2010?
---------------
When Noel's age is "x", Danny's age is "x+6".
----
In 2000: x+6 = 4(x-5)+2
---
x+6 = 4x-18
3x = 24
x = 8 (Noel's age in 2000)
---
In 2010: Noel's age = x+10 = 18 yrs old
