PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. I suck at age problems

In 4 years, Harry's age will be the same as Jim's age is now. In 2 years, Jim will be twice as old as Harry will be. Find their ages now.

H + 4 = J

4 + 2 =J

J = 6

[tex]h + 4 = j[/tex]
and
[tex](h + 2) \times 2= j + 2 \\ 2 \times h + 4 = j + 2 \\ 2 \times h + 2 = j[/tex]
so that means that
[tex]h + 4 = 2 \times h + 2 \\ 2 \times h - h = 4 - 2 \\ h = 2[/tex]
so j=2+4=6
