Answer:

  Sydney is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent Sydney's age. Then Devaughn's age is (s-14). The total of their ages is ...

  s +(s -14) = 76

  2s = 90 . . . . . . simplify, add 14

  s = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 2

Sydney's age is 45.

___

Check

  Devaughn's age is 45 -14 = 31. Their age total is 45 +31 = 76, as required.
