Age riddles can be solved by establishing algebraic relationships between people's ages and using the fact that age differences remain constant over time. For example, in the riddle 'When I was 2 years old, my older brother was three times my age. Now I am 30 years old. How old is my brother?', the solution involves calculating the age difference (brother was 6, so 4 years older) and adding that to the current age (30 + 4 = 34). Similarly, in the riddle 'My sister and I are combined age of 44. I am four times older than she was when I was the age she is now. How old am I?', the solution requires setting up equations where the speaker's age is 32 and the sister's age is 12, satisfying both the combined age condition and the relative age relationship.
