    Natasha's age is 81 years and Andrew's age is 31 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: From the given details, let the age of Natasha be x, then age of Andrew is x - 50. Step 2: Form equations out of their details of ages 6 years ago.

    ⇒ x - 6 = 3 (x - 50 - 6)

    ⇒ x - 6 = 3 (x - 56)

    ⇒ x - 6 = 3x - 168

    ⇒ 2x = 162

    ⇒ x = 81

    Step 3: Calculate Andrew's age

    x - 50 = 81 - 50 = 31
