Question 1160126

Tara is two years older than Ashley.
Let Ashley,s age be x
Then Tara's age will be (x+2) years

4 years ago
Ashley's age = (x-4)years

4 years hence 
Tara's age = (x+2)+4= (x+8)years
 
In 4 years from now, Tara will be twice as old as Ashley was 4 years ago.

(x+8) = 2(x-4)
x+8 =2x-8
x=16 

 you calculate Tara's  present age.
