We know Sarah is 20 and she is 4 times as old as her brother. Therefore, her brother is 5. Now, we can just add years to Sarah and her brother's age to find out when she will be twice as old as he will be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In 1 year: Sarah = 21, Brother = 6
\n" ); document.write( "In 2 years: Sarah = 22, Brother = 7
\n" ); document.write( "In 3 years: Sarah = 23, Brother = 8
\n" ); document.write( "In 4 years: Sarah = 24, Brother = 9
\n" ); document.write( "In 5 years: Sarah = 25, Brother = 10
\n" ); document.write( "In 6 years: Sarah = 26, Brother = 11
\n" ); document.write( "In 7 years: Sarah = 27, Brother = 12
\n" ); document.write( "In 8 years: Sarah = 28, Brother = 13
\n" ); document.write( "In 9 years: Sarah = 29, Brother = 14
\n" ); document.write( "In 10 years: Sarah = 30, Brother = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As you can see, in 10 years, Sarah will be twice as old as her brother. So, Sarah will be 30 years old when she is twice as old as her brother. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
