&lt;br&gt;
Law is six times as old as Jack.&lt;br&gt;
So let Jack&#39;s age be x; then Law&#39;s age is 6x.&lt;br&gt;
In twelve years time,...&lt;br&gt;
In twelve years time, their ages will be x+12 and 6x+12&lt;br&gt;
... Law will be two times as old as Jack.&lt;br&gt;
Translation: Law&#39;s age twelve years from now will be two times Jack&#39;s age twelve years from now:&lt;br&gt;
{{{6x+12 = 2(x+12)}}}&lt;br&gt;
