Let
Edz present age = e
Noe present age = n

Edz is twice as old as Noe
e=2n..............(1)
The sum of their ages is 66
e+n=66............(2)
Put the value of e in (2)
2n+n=66
3n=66
3n/3=66/3
n=22
Put the value of n in (1)
e=2n..............(1)
e=2(22)
e=44

Edz present age = e = 44
Noe present age = n = 22
