You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the number of years that have passed since Angie was Rob's age, or 21. Then:
21+n=2(21-n)
21+n=42-2n
3n=21
n=7
Angie is 28, Rob is 21. Seven years ago, Rob was 14---Angie is now twice that, or 28
☺☺☺☺

-------------------
Assume the constant difference in their ages is "x".
A = 2(21-x) where A-R = x
-----
So, A = 42-2x
A = 42 - 2(A-R)
A = 42 - 2A + 2R
3A = 42+2(21) = 84
A = 28 yrs (Angie's age now)
