age problem algebra

Question

Ben is 2020 years older than Daniel. Ben and Daniel first met two years ago. Three years ago, Ben was 33 times as old as Daniel.

Answer 1

B = D+20

(B-3) = 3(D-3)

D+20-3 = 3(D-3)

D+17 = 3D - 9

17 = 2D - 9

26 = 2D

D=13

Ben is 33, Daniel is 13.

3 years ago, Ben was 30 and Daniel was 10 which is triple as given
