Mel is 3 years younger than twice Rahfat's age.
Let Mel's age be 'M'
RahFat's age be 'R'
According to above condition,
M = 2 R 3
Sum of their ages is 39.
M+R=39
put value of M in this equation,
( 2 R 3 ) + R = 39 2 R 3 + R = 39 3 R 3 = 39 3 R = 39 + 3 3 R = 42 R = 42 3 R = 14  years
We have M+R=39
put value of R in above equation,
M + 14 = 39 M = 39 14 M = 25  years
Mel's age will be, M=25 years.
