Question 1193910
<pre>
Christian          2t
Taskie             t
Dark               2t-24
</pre>
If half of Christian's age is six years ago was three less than one-half the sum of Taskie's age in four years and Dark's present age,  {{{(2t-6)/2=-3+(1/2)((t+4)+(2t-24))}}}
the description as an equation


Solve the equation and evaluate Christian's age and Dark's age.


{{{t-3=-3+(1/2)(t+4+2t-24)}}}

{{{t-3=-3+(1/2)(3t-20)}}}

{{{t=(1/2)(3t-20)}}}

{{{2t=3t-20}}}

{{{-t=-20}}}

{{{highlight(t=20)}}}----------now find the other two values.
