Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p, b, j, d represent the ages of Phil, Bill, Jenny, and Dad. We are given the relations ...

  b = 2p

  j = b -2

  2(p +b +j) = d

  (p+9) +(b+9) +(j+9) = d+9

_____

Solving the last equation for d, we get ...

  (p +b +j) +18 = d

Substituting for the sum of p, b, j in the third equation, we have ...

  2(d -18) = d

  d = 36 . . . . . . . . add 36-d

Substituting for b and j in the third equation, we get ...

  2(p +(2p) +(2p-2)) = 36 . . . . .  uses b=2p in the 2nd equation

  10p -4 = 36 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  p = 40/10 = 4 . . . . . . add 4; divide by 10

  b = 2p = 8

  j = b -2 = 6

Jenny's current age is 6.

_____

All of the ages are ...

  Bill: 8; Jenny: 6; Phil: 4; Dad: 36
