Sophie will be 6 years old. Nichole will be 6+28 = 34

It will take 6 years for that to happen. 

You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older. 

Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation. 

6(x) - 2 = x + 28

6x - 2 = x + 28

5x - 2 = 28

5x = 30

x = 6
