Answer:

Frank is 56 years old

Millie is 44 years old

Explanation:

Since three times Millie's age is 132, you can figure out her age by dividing 132 by 3. Since Frank's age is 12 years older than Millie's, add 12 to 132 divided by 3.

Millie's age equation:

x = 132/3

x = 44 years old

Frank's age equation:

x = (132/3) + 12

x = (44) + 12

x = 56 years old
