Answer 1

Answer:

The older man is 75 years old and the younger man is 25 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the younger man

3x is the older man

3x-15=6*(x-15)

3x-15=6x-90

-3x       -3x

-15=3x-90

+90     +90

75=3x

25=x

x=25

3x=75

The older man is 75 years old and the younger man is 25 years old.
