Answer:
Molly would be 1 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
"In three years..."
(m+3) will be Molly's age then.
(h+3) will be Heidi's age then.
(h+3) = 2(m+3) :: given.
.
Subsitute what we know about m, which is it equal h-4.
.
(h+3) = 2(m+3)
(h+3) = 2m + 6
substitute m=h-4
(h+3) = 2(h-4) +6
h +3 = 2(h -4) +6
h +3 = 2h -8 +6
h +3 = 2h -2
h = 2h -8 +3
-h = -5
h = 5
Heidi is 5 years old now.
.
m = h-4
m = 5-4
m = 1
Molly is 1 years old now.
