Answer: I say the answer is 20 years old, 30 years old

Step-by-step explanation: If rachel is 10 years old than her sister in six years from now, the sum of their ages will be 40. So rachel is 10 years older than her sister so the younger sister has to be 20 years old and and rachel is 30 years old.
