There's no difference between "current ages" and ages.
----
Helen is 6 times as old as Millie
In 32 years from now she will be twice as old as Millie
What are their ages?
--------------
H = 6M
H + 32 = 2(M+32)
----
Sub for H
---
6M + 32 = 2(M+32)
6M + 32 = 2M + 64
4M = 32
M = 8
H = 48
=========================
A lot of people seem to think adding "current" makes it seem they know what they're talking about.
Actually, it shows that their grasp of English has room for improvement.

eg, "What's your current location?" vs. "Where are you?"
