Answer:
k= d+3


k-2 = 4(d-2)

Explanation:

Let k be Kevin's age and Let d be Daniel's age.

Given : Kevin is 3 years older than Daniel.

i.e. Age of Kelvin = Age of Daniel+ 3

i.e. In terms of variables , k= d+3 (1)

Two years ago,

Age of Kelvin = k-2

Age of Daniel = d-2

Since Two years ago ,Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel.

i.e. In terms of variables :
k-2 = 4*(d-2)


k-2 = 4(d-2) (2)

From (1) and (2) the system of equations represents this situation are


k= d+3


k-2 = 4(d-2)
