Let's say the daughter is x years old today. That means that Tyrone is 2x years old today.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Six years from now, Tyrone will be 2x + 6 years old.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Six years AGO, the daughter was x - 6 years old, and six years from now, Tyrone will be 3 times that.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the situation six years from now is that \"2x%2B6=3%28x-6%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B6=3x-18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-3x=-18-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x=-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=24\", and now we know that the daughter is 24 years old today. That means that Tyrone is 48 years old today.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2824%29%2B6=48%2B6=54\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2824-6%29=3%2818%29=54\", answer checks.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
