Question 333937
"Four years ago Tarick was three years older than twice Deonte's age then" ___ T-4 = 2(D-4) + 3 ___ T-4 = 2D-5


"Six years from now the sum of their ages will be 39" ___ T+6 + D+6 = 39 ___ T + D = 27 ___ T = 27-D


substituting ___ (27-D)-4 = 2D-5 ___ 28 = 3D ___ 28/3 = D


substituting ___ T = 27-(28/3) ___ T = 53/3


T-D = (53/3)-(28/3) = 25/3
