Let's represent Emily's age as E and Amy's age as A. Since Amy is three times as old as Emily, we have A = 3E. Let x be the number of years from now when Amy will be twice as old as Emily. Therefore, the equation for that scenario would be A + x = 2(E + x). Substituting A = 3E into the equation, we get 3E + x = 2(E + x). Solving this equation will give us the age of Amy when she is twice as old as Emily.

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)
