SOLUTION: Dandy was born 6 years before Noel. In 2000, Dandy's age was 2 years more than four times the age of Noel in 1995. How old was Noel in 2016?

Dandy's age in 2016 = D
Noel's age in 2016 = N

So Dandy is 6 years older than Noel.

D = N + 6

The next sentence speaks of the years 2000 and 1995. 
2000 was 16 years before 2016 and 1995 was 21 years 
before 2016. So.

Dandy's age in 2000 = D-16
Noel's age in 1995 = N-21

So, since the next sentence is:

that says:

D-16 = 4(N-21)+2

So we have this system of euations:



Solve that system by substitution for N and D to 
find their ages.
