Question 1148773
<br>
Let x be Nichole's age when Sophie is 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age.<br>
Then of course Sophie's age then will be 6x-2; the DIFFERENCE in their ages will be (6x-2)-x = 5x-2.<br>
The difference in their ages will always be 28 years.  So<br>
{{{5x-2 = 28}}}<br>
Finish the problem using basic algebra.<br>
