    Answer: Brent is 16 years old

    Step-by-step explanation: i don't know if this is correct but the way i did it was, 8 + 8=16, 16 + 8 = 24, then 8 - 4 = 4, 16 + 8 + 4 = 28.

    Trent is 12.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    T = 2K (Trent is twice as old as Kennedy)

    K = L - 4 (Kennedy is 4 years younger than Leslee)

    2 (L - 4) + L - 4 + L = 28

    Tom Kennedy Leslee

    2L - 8 + L + 4 + L = 28

    4L = 28 - 8 - 4

    4L = 40

    L = 10 (Leslee is 10)

    Plug in L into Trent's age):

    2 (L - 4)

    2 (10 - 4)

    2 (6)

    12 (Trent's age)

    And, of course, Kennedy must be 6 because 28 - 10 - 12 = 6
