Sally is currently 4 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaden is 18 years older than Sally now. In 5 years, Kaden will be 3 times as old as Sally. How old is Sally now?

Let Kaden's current age be and Sally's current age be . We can write the following algebraic equation using the fact that Kaden is currently 18 years older than Sally:

Next, we will use the fact that in 5 years, Kaden will be 3 times as old as Sally. If Kaden and Sally's current ages are and respectively, then their ages in 5 years will be and respectively. Therefore, we have:

We have two equations with two variables. To solve for either variable, we need to create an equation with only one variable. Therefore, let's substitute the first equation into the second:

Distribute and combine like terms:

Subtract from both sides, then subtract 15 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

Therefore, Sally is currently 4 years old.
