### Instruction: Xavier is twice as old as Yasmin is. Xavier will 30 years old in six years. What is the total of their ages now?### Response: If Xavier will be 30 years old in six years, that means he is 30-6 = 24 years old now.
If Xavier is twice as old as Yasmin, Yasmin is 24/2 = 12 years old.
The total of their ages now is 12+24 = 36 years
The answer is 36
