Final answer:

Geraldine's age is represented as t - 4, and Steven's age is represented as 2*(t - 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

If Geraldine is 4 years younger than Tom, then we can represent Geraldine's age as:

Geraldine's age = Tom's age - 4

And if Steven is twice as old as Geraldine, we can represent Steven's age as:

Steven's age = 2 * Geraldine's age

So, Geraldine's age is t - 4 and Steven's age is 2*(t - 4).
