A man is 38 years old, and his daughter is 14 years old. How many years will it be before the man’s age is just twice that of his daughter?

It will be 10 years from now. The man is 38 and the daughter is 14, so you find the difference of their age which is 24 years. He will be twice as old as his daughter when she is 24 and he is 48. Since the man is now 38, that will be in 48-38 which equals 10 years. Hope this helps!
