To determine Kevin's age, you subtract 3 from 17, leading to 7 years for Kevin. To calculate Uncle Rob's age, add 3 to 17 to get 20, then multiply this by 3 to find Uncle Rob's projected age of 60. Finally, subtracting 6 from 60 gives 54; thus, Kevin is 7 years old, whereas Uncle Rob is 54 years old.

Today, Kevin is 7 years old, and Uncle Rob is 54 years old. For a step-by-step breakdown: Tonya will reach 17 years old in three years, so her current age is 17-3, making her 14 years old now. Since Tonya is twice Kevin's age, Kevin is half of Tonya's age: 14/2=7. To ascertain Uncle Rob's age, we add three years to Tonya's future age: she will be 20. And considering Uncle Rob will be three times Tonya's age, that computes to 20*3=60. After accounting for six years back, he is 60-6=54 years.
