Respuesta :

Answer:

The age of Noelle  =  20 years

Age of Noelle's dad   = 54 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Let us assume:

The age of Noelle's age = m years

So, the age of Noelle's dad = 3 x ( Age of Noelle)  - 6    =  3(m)  - 6

Also, sum of both the ages = 74

So, sum of (Noelle's age  +  Noelle's dad's)  age = 74 years

⇒ m + ( 3 m  - 6)  = 74

or, 4 m =  74+ 6 = 80

or,m = 80 / 4  = 20

⇒ m  = 20

Hence, the age of Noelle =  m - 3   =   20 years

Age of Noelle's dad  = 3 m - 6 = 3(20) - 6 = 54 years
