Answer:

if i'm right ted is 14 and ed is 21

Explanation:

if ed is 7 years older than ted and is 3/2 times eds age, than we have to find out how much dose 2 represent in the equation 3/2 so we know that ed is seven years older than ted. so that means that if the equation 3/2 was 1/2, 1 would represent 7 years. (i hope your following me) so if 1 represents 7 than 2 must represent 14 and that would be the age of ted because in the equation 3/2 the 2 would represent teds age. and if the 2 represents teds age than 3 would be eds age. so 7 x 3 = 21. (this is my first time answering a question so sorry if i'm confusing)
