Let's say the daughter is x years old today. That means that Tyrone is 2x years old today.

Six years from now, Tyrone will be 2x + 6 years old.

Six years AGO, the daughter was x - 6 years old, and six years from now, Tyrone will be 3 times that.

Solving:

, and now we know that the daughter is 24 years old today. That means that Tyrone is 48 years old today.
