Tyrone is twice as old as his daughter. in six years Tyrone's age will be three times what his daughter's age was six years ago. how old are they at present?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation for the statements,\"Tyrone is twice as old as his daughter.\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2d
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "and the equation for the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"in six years Tyrone's age will be three time what his daughter's age was six years ago.\"
\n" ); document.write( "t + 6 = 3(d-6)
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "t + 6 = 3d - 18
\n" ); document.write( "t = 3d - 18 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "t = 3d - 24
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " how old are they at present?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know t = 2d so we have:
\n" ); document.write( "2d = 3d - 24
\n" ); document.write( "2d - 3d = -24
\n" ); document.write( "-d = -24
\n" ); document.write( "d = 24 is daughter's age
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "2(24) = 48 is T's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solutions in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "in six years Tyrone's age will be three time what his daughter's age was six years ago.\"
\n" ); document.write( "48 + 6 = 3(24 - 6)
\n" ); document.write( "54 = 3(18); confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "That wasn't so hard, was it? \n" ); document.write( "
