Question 32607: Tricia is 14 years older than Michella. In four years, Tricia will be twice as old as Michella. How old are they now? Answer by mukhopadhyay(490) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let Michella's current age is x
=> Tricia's current age is (x+14)
Four years later Michella's age will be (x+4) and Tricia's age will be (x+18);
Per question, (x+18) = 2(x+4)
=> x+18 = 2x+8
=> x = 10
Answer: Michella's current age is 10 years and Tricia's current age is 24 years
