The number of years past when Alan was twice Vanessa's age is 14 years.

Current ages :

  • Alan = 30 years
  • Vanessa = 22 years

We can set up an equation where, x = number of years when Alan was 2 times Vanessa's age thus :

30 - x = 2(22 - x)

30 - x = 44 - 2x

Collect like terms

-x + 2x = 44 - 30

x = 14

Therefore, 14 years ago, Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age.
