Question 1065608
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?
<pre>
Dandy's age in 2016 = D
Noel's age in 2016 = N</pre>Dandy was born 6 years before Noel.<pre>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:</pre>In 2000, Dandy's age was 2 years 
more than four times the age of Noel in 1995. 
<pre>that says:

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

So we have this system of euations:

{{{system(D=N+6,D-16 = 4(N-21)+2)}}}

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