Answer:
16
Explanation:
Age problems can be solved by expressing the given relationships in math terms, then solving the resulting equation(s). Let J represent Judy's age now. Then Adami's age now is J/2. Six years ago, the relationship was ...
(J -6) = 5(J/2 -6)
J -6 = 2.5J -30
24 = 1.5J
16 = J
Judy is now 16 years old.

Additional comment
Adami is 8 now. 6 years ago, Judy was 10 and Adami was 2.
Here is an alternate approach. Let 'a' represent Adami's age 6 years ago. The relationship at present is ...
2(a+6) = 5a +6
6 = 3a . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 2a+6
2 = a ⇒ 5a+6 = 16
