You can put this solution on YOUR website! Wow. Convoluted problem! :-)
.
Let Y be Sonya, R be Ryan, S be Sherry, and C be Carl.
.
Here's what we're told in the question:
Y = 2R (who is now 10) (Sonya is twice as old as Ryan who was six four years ago.)
R = C + 3
C = S + 1
.
The key here is that we know R (Ryan who was six four years ago)
Let's work from there.
If Ryan is 10, then Sonya is 20 (2R), Carl is 13 (R-3), and Sherry is 12 (C-1).
.
In two years, Carl will be 13+2, or 15.
You should be able to figure out the rest. It's an ugly-written problem, but the answer was contained in the question.
