You can put this solution on YOUR website! laura is 6 years older than theresa,
L = T+6
:
In 2 years laura will be twice as old as theresa.
L + 2 = 2(T+2)
L + 2 = 2T + 4
:
Find their ages.
Substitute (T+6) for L in the above equation:
(T+6) + 2 = 2T + 4
T + 8 = 2T + 4
8 - 4 = 2T - T
4 = T
:
T's age is 4, that makes L's age: 4 + 6 = 10
:
Check solution for equality in two years
10 + 2 = 2(4 + 2)
