    Let the age of Dan be 'X' years.

    Then, age of Cary = 'X+9' years

    According to question:

    5 years Later:

    Dan's age = 'x+5'

    Cary's age = 'x+14'

    Sum of their ages = 83

    (x+5) + (X+14) = 83

    2x+19 = 83

    x = 32

    Therefore, Dan's age = 32 years

    Cary's age = 41 years
