Ashley is 10 years older than her sister Brianna. Two years ago, Ashley was 6 times Brianna's age. How old is Brianna now?

12 and 2

two years ago, Ashley was 12 (6 x 2), while Brianna was 2. 12 - 2 = 10, which also fits the equation of being 10 years older.

2 years from then, we add 2 to Brianna's "two years ago" age.

2 + 2 = 4

Brianna is 4 years old now

hope this helps
