Clara is currently 12 because 38 divided by two minus 7 is 12. Next, you need to do 38-12 and you'd get 26 so that's the answer

Answer: 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The age of Cleo = 38 years

Let x be the Clara 's age , then according to the question we have

[tex]2(x+7)=38[/tex]

Dividing 2 on both sides, we get

[tex]x+7=19[/tex]

Subtract 7 on both sides, we get

[tex]x=19-7=12[/tex]

Hence, the present age of Clara is 12 years.

Difference between Cleao and Clara's age =[tex]38-12=26[/tex] years

Hence, in 26 years Clara will be as old as cleo is now.
