Let the nephew's age now = x........and the aunt's age now = x + 28

 

And we know that :

 

(x + 28) + 6 + 10  = 3(x + 6)     simplify

 

x + 44  = 3x + 18     subtract x, 18 from both sides

 

26 = 2x    divide by 2

 

13 = x   this is the nephew's age now........and the aunt's age now  = 41

 

And.....in 6 years, the nephew will be 19........and 3 times this less 10  = the aunt's age in 6 years = 47

 

 

 

cool cool cool
