In 2009 Perry is 8. This is double Rita's age in 2007.

Let Rita’s age 2 years ago be x years.
Perry’s present age = (2x) years
2x – (x + 2) = 2
x = 4
Perry’s present age is 8 years.

The difference is 2 years, and perry is twice as old as rita.
That'll be 2x2=4
Two years ago, Rita is 2 years ol and Perry is 4 years old.
Today, Perry is 6 years old.

I don't think this is correct. Perry is NOW double Rita's age two years ago. NOT two years ago double Rita's age.

The answer is the current age of perry is 6
Here is the calculation.
let x-y = 2
x-2 = 2 (x-2)
x-2 = 2x -4
x-2x = -4 +2
-x = -2
x = 2

current age of rita is 2+2 = 4 years
current age of perry is 4+2 = 6 years
