Tyrone is twice as old as his daughter. in six years Tyrone's age will be three times what his daughters age was six years ago. how old are they at the present?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
t = Tyrone's age at the present
d = the of his daughter at the present
Tyrone is twice as old as his daughter
t = 2d
in six years Tyrone's age will be three times what his daughters age was six years ago
t + 6 = 3(d - 6)
by solving the system of equations
t = 2d
t + 6 = 3(d - 6)
we find
t = 48 years
d = 24 years
