Yes, I know there's loads of time left for this but I've only this one left and I've exhausted all avenues. I am absolutely hopless at anything mathmatical and no 1 in section 2 has driven me potty.

When asked how old she was Jane said, "In 2 years time I will be twice as old as I was 5 years ago". How old is Jane?

Any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

12
In 2 years time she will be 14
5 years ago she was 7
Age now is X:

X + 2 = 2(X - 5)

... this gives X = 12

Many thanks both of you, the formula was especially helpful as maybe now I will be able to work out the pesky puzzle myself!
