Answer by Simeonkay(7)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let blancas age be x, then, adams age is
(2x-4), if adams is 16 years old now, therefore,
(2x-4)=16, simplify the bracket and collect like term
2x=16+4,
2x=20, divide both sides by 2,
x=10, so blancas age is 10 years old
