Answer: 22 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation: Ms Ford and Ms Lincoln have a age gap of 13 years (48-35) so the last time Ms Ford would be exactly twice as old as Mis Lincoln would be when they were 13 and 26. From there we would just subtract that from their current age (48-26 or 35-13) giving us 22 as our answer.
