Answer:

Teo is 7 years old

Richard is 25 years old

Explanation:

Let's assume Teo's age is represented by x

Richard is 11 years older than twice Teo's age:

2x + 11

Combined the age of Richard and Teo is 32:

x + (2x + 11) = 32

3x + 11 = 32

3x = 21

x = 7

Teo is 7 years old.

To find Richard's age, we can substitute this value back into the expression 2x + 11:

2(7) + 11 = 14 + 11 = 25 years old

Richard is 25 years old.
