We have that

Sheri's age=x

terry's age=y

 in 20 years

x+20 =y   equation 1

 in 10 years

y+10=2*x   equation 2

 resolving

 y=x+20  equation 1

 y=2*x-10 equation 2

 x+20 =2*x-10

2*x-x=20+10

x=30

y=x+20--------------y=30+20=50

Sheri's age=x------------------30 years

terry's age=y-------------------50 years
