x=4
y=13
Find time (t) when y+t will be twice as big as x+t
13+t = 2(4+t)
13 + t = 8 + 2t
subtract (8) from both sides
5 + t = 2t
subtract (t) from both sides
5 = t

Herman's age is 7, his sister twice that (14) In 7 years he will be 14, and she will be 21 (14 is 2/3rds of 21)
let brothers be x and sisters be y. 2x=y+1 x+1=y solving these we get x=2 and y=3

Rodger is 4 years old,Roger is 4, his sister is 2, last year Roger was 3 and his sister was 1.
One sister, two brothers
This is a logic puzzle. YOU are part of the puzzle, so you have equal brothers and sisters. Your brothers have twice as many sisters (meaning you) as they have brothers. So if you have one brother and one sister, they are equal. But if your brother has two sisters, he has twice as many sisters as brothers, right? It doesn't say that he HAS brothers, just that he has twice as many sisters as brothers. So you have a brother and a sister, but your brother has two sisters. Three kids, two girls and one boy.

let the no. of brothers be 'x' then twice as many sisters as brothers means 2(x) = 2x its as simple as that!
