--------------------------------------------------
Define x :
--------------------------------------------------
Let Cheryl be x years old.
Cheryl = x
Lisa = x + 6

--------------------------------------------------
In two years time:
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x + 2
Lisa = x + 8

--------------------------------------------------
Lisa will be twice as old as Cheryl :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)

--------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
x + 8 = 2x + 4
x = 4

--------------------------------------------------
Find their age :
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x = 4
Lisa = x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Lisa is 10 years old now.
--------------------------------------------------

What makes a square a square <br> why isn't a rectangle?
Lilit [14]
A square is a geometrical figure that has 4 congruent sides and angles. This means all side lengths and angles are the same.

A rectangle is a geometrical figure that has 4 similar sides but are not the same length. However, a rectangle does have congruent angles. A rectangle has 2 sides that are double the other 2 sides, in which both of each (length & width) have the same measurement.

I hope this helps!
