Answer:

12 years old

Explanation:

6 years, Karen will be "x + 6" years old.

3 years ago, Karen's age was half of what she will be in 6 years.

x - 3 = (1/2)(x + 6)

we can multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction:

2(x - 3) = x + 6

Simplifying the equation:

2x - 6 = x + 6

Subtracting x from both sides:

x - 6 = 6

Adding 6 to both sides:

x = 12

Therefore, Karen is currently 12 years old.
