Lets have Anisah be x right now.
4 years ago, Adrian was (x-4) + 28 = x+24
Right now, Adrian is 3x.
Knowing those two pieces of information, we can say that x+24 is equal to 3x-4. (This is because Adrian is 3x right now, and for 4 years ago, you subtract 4.)
x+24=3x-4
24=2x-4
28=2x
x=14
Right now Anisah is 14, and in 4 years he will be 14+4 = 18.
