Ade's age 10 years ago   =    A

        and this was 1/2 the age of his sister   A = 1/2 S

 

 

10 years later   Ade is now  A + 10  =12           substitute in the red equation above

    A + 10 = 12

   1/2 S  + 10 = 12

   S=4    (remember this was 10 years ago)

 

 

       and sister is S + 10   = 4+ 10 = 14 y/o    Sister's age now
