Do NOT panic!!!
You CAN do this.

So, when eve was 14 she was twice as old as her sister.
How old was her sister? What is 14 divided by 2? Yes, 7.
So, if she was 7 in 2006, how old will she be in 2009? Yes, 10!!!

If you don't give up and try these problems you will start to get some.
After a while you will get more. Work hard and you could become a whizz!!!

E=2T IN 2006
E=2006-1992=14 YEARS OLD.
14=2T
T=14/2=7 YEARS OLD IN 2006
T WILL BE [7+(2009-2006)=7+3=10] YEARS OLD IN 2009.
