First establish variables for current age.

Clive's current age = c
Sherman's current age = s

<span>"Three years ago," 
Clive was: (c - 3)
Sherman was: (s - 3)

</span><span>"Sherman was twice as old as Clive."</span><span>
(s - 3) = 2(c - 3)

Then in terms of Sherman's present age, distribute 2, combine like terms
s - 3 = 2c - 6
s = 2c - 6 + 3
s = 2c - 3
