Cheryl is 17 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Age of Cheryl = x
Age of Henry = 2x+6
In 10 years;
Cheryl's age = x+10
Henry's age = 2x+6+10 = 2x+16
The sum of ages is 77.
Dividing both sides by 3
Age of Cheryl = 17 years
Age of Henry = 2x+6 = 2(17)+6 = 34+6 = 40 years
Cheryl is 17 years old now.
