W=winston's age
x=xavier's age


winston is 8  years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

It's difficult to draw a tree diagram with this software.
Try to do it yourself & you will find the followings:

If A is selected (P(A) =1/2) we can get ether red (p(A & red)=4/7
so P(A∩red)= 1/2 x 4/7 = 4/14
Also we can get P(blue) = 3/7   & P(A∩blue) = 1/2 x 3/7 = 3/14

Same reasoning for B & you will get P(B∩read) 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8
Also we can get  P(B∩blue) = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
Probability of blues is either 3/14 or 1/8
P(blue) = 3/8 +1/8 =19/56 = 0.339

All the angles added up = 360°

46 + 4x - 2 + 9x + 6 + 8x - 5 = 360
21x + 45 = 360
21x = 315
x = 15
