    D=dan age

    t=tim age

    d is 4 times as old as tim

    d=4t

    8 years from now (d+8 and t+8)

    sum is 71

    d+8+t+8=71

    d+t+16=71

    minus 16

    d+t=55

    sub d=4t

    4t+t=55

    5t=55

    divide both sides by 5

    t=11

    sub back

    d=4t

    d=4 (11)

    d=44

    dan is 44 and tim is 11
