    Let Tony's age = x

    He is 4 years younger than his brother Josh, so Josh's age would be x + 4

    He is 2 years older than his sister, so her age would be x - 2

    He has a twin, which would be the same age, so the twins age is also x

    They all add together to equal 66, so you get:

    x + x + x+4 + x-2 = 66

    Simplify:

    4x + 2 = 66

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    4x = 64

    Divide both sides by 4:

    x = 64/4 = 16

    Tony is 16 years old.
