    Step-by-step explanation:

    let Julie's age be x,

    Let Helga's age be 2x-6 since she's 6 years younger than 2times of Julie's age.

    Which implies that the sum of Julie's age to that of Halga = x + 2x - 6

    Implies x + 2x - 6 = 36

    Collect like terms

    x + 2x = 36+6

    3x=42

    Divide both side by 3

    X=16
