Let Tony's age = x
thus,
2x + 14 = 3x - 6
x = 20
hence,
Tony is 20 years of age

Tony's age: x
14 + 2*x = 3*x - 6
(translate the question to math symbols)
2x + 14 = 3x - 6
2x + 14 + 6 = 3x - 6 +6
2x + 20 = 3x +0
2x - 2x + 20 = 3x - 2x
0 + 20 = x
x = 20 years old

Set it up as 2x + 14 = 3x-6
2x + 20 = 3x (Bring the 6 over)
20 = x (subtract the 2x)
He is 20 years old

Just double check it just to be sure. =)

Let Tony's age be x. so,
2x+14=3x-6
3x-2x=14+6
x=20
hope it helps.
