d = 2m - 4 (Dad's age is 4 less than twice Mark's)
m + d = 95 (their ages total 95)

We have a value for d, so plug it in:
m + 2m - 4 = 95
Simplify:
3m - 4 = 95
Add 4 to both sides:
3m = 99
Divide by 3:
m = 33

The age of Mark’s dad is 4 less than twice Mark’s age. The sum of their ages is 95. Find their ages.
