Answer 1

well they didn't say any of their ages so idk

Answer 2

Age of Sheri = 30 and Age of Terry = 50

Explanation:

Let the present age Sheri be s and Terry be t.

We have Sheri’s age in 20 years time will be the same as Terry’s age is now.

That is

s + 20 = t

t - s = 20 ------------------------------eqn 1

Ten years from now, Terry’s age will be twice Sheri’s age

t + 10 = 2s

2s - t = 10 ------------------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

t - s + 2s - t = 20 + 10

s = 30

Substituting in eqn 1

t - 30 = 20

t = 50

Age of Sheri = 30 and Age of Terry = 50
