Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tyler is x years old

t = x

samantha is 4 years older then tyler...

x + 4....this is samanthas age

three times samanthas age = 60

3(x + 4) = 60

3(x + 4) = 60 <=== this is an equation for tylers age....x = tylers age

3x + 12 = 60

3x = 60 - 12

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16 <==== tyler is 16 years old

samantha is : x + 4.....16 + 4 = 20 <=== samantha is 20
