Respuesta :

T = Terrill's age
C = Cranston's age

Using the info provided: 
C + 4 = T
T + 2 = 2C

Isolate variable: 

T = 2C - 2

Your two equations: 
C + 4 = T
T = 2C - 2

Set them equal to eachother: 
C + 4 = 2C - 2 

Solve for C 

Cranston's Age = 6 

Solve for T using your equation: 

Terrill's age = 10
