    First let's find their current ages:

    Billy + 6years = Amy

    Billy + Amy = 22

    Combining these equations:

    Billy + (Billy + 6years) = 22

    2 Billy = 16

    Billy = 8

    Billy + 6 = Amy

    8 + 6 = Amy

    Amy = 14

    In 8 years Billy will be 16 and Amy will be 22. The answer is d.
