"three times younger" is nonsense.
1 time younger is zero.

10 times closer, 100 times smaller, etc. are also gibberish
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tina was three times younger than Helen in 2006.
3t = h
In 2012 Helen will be 42.
h + 6 = 42
How old will Tina be in 2012?
:
Six years later
3t+6 = h+6
h+6=42 therefore
3t + 6 = 42
3t = 42 - 6
3t = 36
t = 36/12
t = 12 in 2006
Therefore 6 years in 2012, Tina will be 18
