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

This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.
