Answer 2

• Daughter is 14 and son is 10

==========================

Let the present ages be:

• Daughter - d, son - s

Set equations

8 years ago:

• d - 8 = 3(s - 8)

At present:

• d = s + 4

Simplify and substitute d into the first equation:

• d - 8 = 3s - 24
• d = 3s - 16

• s + 4 = 3s - 16
• 3s - s = 4 + 16
• 2s = 20
• s = 10

Find d:

• d = 10 + 4 = 14
