Sophia will be twice as old as Maya in 3 years
From the question, we are to determine the number of years when Sophia will be twice as old as Maya
From the given information,
"Maya is 12 years old"
and
"Sophia is 15 years older than Maya"
Thus,
Sophia is 12 + 15 years
Sophia is 27 years
Let the number of years when Sophia will be twice as old as Maya be x
Then,
27 + x = 2(12 + x)
Solve for x
27 + x = 24 + 2x
27 - 24 = 2x - x
3 = x
x = 3
Hence, Sophia will be twice as old as Maya in 3 years
