Answer:

Mr.Samson is 58 years old. Mr.Rogers is 35.

Explanation

Samson's age Roger's age

2x - 12 x ( 12 years less than twice Mr.Rogers(x))

Equation: 2x - 12 + x = 93 Sum of ages is 93

3x - 12 = 93 Simplified

x = 35 Solve

Rogers = x, so Rogersis 35

But Sampson is 2x - 12 ( 2 * 35 - 12 ), so Sampson is 58
