Answer 1

Answer:

Mr.Samson is 58 years old. Mr.Rogers is 35.

Step-by-step explanation

Samson's age            Roger's age

      2x - 12                          x          ( 12 years less than twice Mr.Rogers(x))

Equation:   2x - 12 + x = 93            Sum of ages is 93

3x - 12 = 93           Simplified

x = 35               Solve

Rogers = x, so Rogersis 35

But Sampson is 2x - 12 ( 2 * 35 - 12 ), so Sampson is 58
