----------------------------------------------------------
Person A is four times as old as person B, who is six times as old as person C, who is twice as old
as person D. How old is each person if their combined ages are 189 months?
----------------------------------------------------------
PERSON     AGE
A          4*6*2*D
B          6*2D
C          2D
D          D
Total     189 months

Solve the equation 48D%2B12D%2B2D%2BD=189
and then evaluate A, B, C.
