erin is 3 times warrens age:
warren=w
erin=3w
in 4 years she'll be twice the age of warren:
erin+4=2(warren+4)
3w+4=2(w+4)
how old are each of them now?
dsitribute--
3w+4=2w+8
Subtract 2w--
w+4=8
Subtract 4--
w=4
Therefore,
**Warren=4
**Erin=12
Check: 3w+4=2(w+4) becomes 12+4=2(8) or 16=16. So the ages are right.
