For this case we have to:

x: Variable that represents Tyler's age

y: Variable that represents Tiffany's age

According to the data of the statement we can propose the following equations:

[tex]x = y + 4\\x + 10 = 2y[/tex]

To solve we substitute the first equation in the second equation:

[tex]y + 4 + 10 = 2y\\14 = 2y-y\\14 = y[/tex]

So, Tiffany is 14 years old.

Then Tyler has:

[tex]x = 14 + 4\\x = 18[/tex]

Tyler is 18 years old.

Answer:

Tyler: 18 years old

Tiffany: 14 years old
