    I'm afraid I don't see the models you have written about although I do know the answer. (C = Courtney's age, S = Shilo's age)

    Shilo is 7 years older then Courtney, which equals to C+7=S.

    While at the same time Shilo is 13 years younger then twice Courtney's age. This turns into Cx2-13=S.

    c+7=cx2-13. This is the equation, now lets work it out.

    Add 13 on each side and you get

    c+20=2c

    Now we subtract c from each side and we get

    20=c Therefor we have found out that Courtney is 20 years old.

    Shilo being 7 years older then Courtney is 27
