Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the descriptions gives some change to Terry's age. In general, years older will be added, years younger will be subtracted, multiples of 2 or 3 or 10 will cause Terry's age to be multiplied by those amounts. Of course, multiplication by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2.

The words mean the same in math as they do in English.

Additional comment

In view of the above, we're not fond of the wording "times older", just because "older" generally signifies addition. The wording "10 times older" suggests that we should add 10 times the amount to the original. Alas, common usage interprets "times older" to mean "times as old". Beware.
