Alex is 7 years oldER than Luis. Next year, she will be 1 year more than twice as old as she will be. How old is he now?
-----------------------------------------------------------

"She", Alex.
"He", Luis.

A=L%2B7

Next Year, ... A%2B1=2%28A%2B1%29;
A%2B1=2A%2B2
-1=A--------------She, Alex, is not yet born. One year until she is to be born.

Luis is not yet born either.

Problem description is nonsense.
