Currently, Amy is 12 years old when Emily is 4.

In 4 years time, Amy will be 16, and Emily will be 8.

---

Solve using the algebraic expression for the number of years x :

12 + x = 2 (4 + x)

12 + x = 8 + 2x

4 + x = 2x

4 = x

12 + 4 = 16, 4 + 4 = 8

Emily is 3 times as old as Samantha and In six years she will be twice as old as Samantha and in Three years ago she was five times Samanthas age?

Turning this into equations we get :E = current age of EmilyS = current age of SamanthaE = 3S (Currently, Emily is 3 times as old as Samantha)E + 6 = 2*(S + 6) (In 6 years, Emily will be twice as old as Samantha)Solving for E and S, we get that cuurently, Samantha is 6 and Emily is 18(6 * 3 = 18). and in 6 years Samantha would be 12 and Emily would be 24, making Emily twice as old as Samantha (12 * 2 = 24)
