Let Kaye's age now be x years
Paula is 10 less than thrice of Kaye's age
=3x-10
TWO YEARS LATER
Paula,s age = (3x-10)+2 = 3x-8
3x-8 =x
2x=8
x=4
Kaya,s age = 4 years

That person is WRONG, as usual! Kaye is NOT 4.
By the way, who's Kaya?
When are these people going to go to another forum, and mess that one up?
