Angel is 2 years older than Gavin.
Translation:
Translation:
A = G + 2
In 6 years, Gavin's age will be twice Angel's age now.
Translation:
G + 6 = 2A
Now let's put those two equations together:
A = G + 2
G + 6 = 2A
Now since A = G + 2, we can substitute (G + 2) for A
in the second equation:
G + 6 = 2(G + 2)
See if you can solve that equation for G. If you can't,
email me back. If you can, take what you get, then
substitute it for G in
A = G + 2
to find A's age now, and then since the question is
How old are they 6 years from now?
you will add 6 to their ages.
