Answer:

  Marion is 24, Judy is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j represent Judy's age now. 6 year ago, the relation was ...

  3(j -6) = (2j) -6

  3j -18 = 2j -6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  j = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . add 18-2j

  2j = 24 . . . . . . . . . Marion's age now

Judy is 12; Marion is 24.
