The first thing to do is identify the unnecessary information (that they met 2 years ago).

From there, let's go back three years ago. We'll call Daniel's age x, and Ben's age will be 3x. Ben's age is also equal to x + 20.

3x = x+ 20

2x = 20

x = 10

Daniel was 10 three years ago, and Ben was 30. Now, Ben is 33.
