I solved the problem like that:
Sara: 2x
Miguel: x
2x+6 =4/3x
18/3 =4/3 -6/3x
6 = -2/3x
x = - 9
so Miguel = -9
Sara = -18
Is it correct?

you know anybody with a negative age?
If you solved the equation your answer would be x(Miguel)=-9 and Sara=-18. There is no solution because you can't have a negative amount of money.
