Dandy was born 6 years before Noel. In 2000, Dandy's age was 2 years
\n" ); document.write( "more than four times the age of Noel in 1995. How old was Noel in 2016?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Dandy's age in 2016 = D\r\n" );
document.write( "Noel's age in 2016 = N

Dandy was born 6 years before Noel.

So Dandy is 6 years older than Noel.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "D = N + 6\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The next sentence speaks of the years 2000 and 1995. \r\n" );
document.write( "2000 was 16 years before 2016 and 1995 was 21 years \r\n" );
document.write( "before 2016. So.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Dandy's age in 2000 = D-16\r\n" );
document.write( "Noel's age in 1995 = N-21\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, since the next sentence is:

In 2000, Dandy's age was 2 years
\n" ); document.write( "more than four times the age of Noel in 1995.
\n" ); document.write( "

that says:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "D-16 = 4(N-21)+2\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we have this system of euations:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve that system by substitution for N and D to \r\n" );
document.write( "find their ages.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
