        Today                               In 4 years

Gabriel (G): S + 16                   (S + 16) + 4  = S + 20

Sam (S): S                                 (S) + 4 = S + 4

S + 20 = 2(S + 4)

S + 20 = 2S + 8

     20 = 2S + 8

      12 = 2S

      6 = S

Gabriel (G): S + 16  = (6) + 16  = 22

Answer: Gabriel=22 yrs
