    syd is 23 and dev is 69

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Dev's age be x and Syd's age be y

    Since Dev is 3 times older than Syd, we may write

    x

    =

    3

    y

    Since the sum of their ages is 92, we may write

    x

    +

    y

    =

    92

    Now replacing x with 3y, we get:

    3

    y

    +

    y

    =

    92

    Hence

    y

    =

    92

    4

    =

    23

    and so Syd is 23 year old.

    Back substituting we get Dev is 69 years old.
