Since Jade will be double Rose's age in 4 years, we set up the equation:

R + 13 = 2(R + 4).

Expanding and solving the equation gives:

R + 13 = 2R + 8

R - 2R = 8 - 13

-R = -5

R = 5.

Rose is currently 5 years old. To find Jade's current age, we substitute Rose's age into the equation for Jade's age:
