Final answer:

Vita is currently 14 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's first represent Vita's current age as x.

According to the information given, Vita will be twice as old in 8 years as she was 3 years ago. This can be written as:

x + 8 = 2(x - 3)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x + 8 = 2x - 6

Subtracting x from both sides, we have:

8 = 2x - x - 6

Combining like terms, we get:

8 = x - 6

Adding 6 to both sides, we have:

14 = x

Therefore, Vita is currently 14 years old.
