This is a math problem, and major part of this solution is just translating the sentence form of this problem into equation form. Here's how I would do it.
"Tony is 4 years older than Heather" --> H + 4 = T
"Heather is 5 yrs younger than Larry" --> H + 5 = L
"Sum of their ages is 69" --> H + T + L = 69
So now you have 3 equations and 3 unknowns, which means you can solve the equation by substitution.
H + (H+4) + (H+5) = 69
3H + 9 = 69
3H = 60
H = 20. Therefore, T = 24 and L = 25
So, Heather is 20, Tony is 24 and Larry is 25.

Why do girls have a lot of hair on their head?
It is just fashionable. Young men and young women could have equal amounts of hair on their head just as easily. Judge for yourself which is best, or pleases you the most. Older men tend to lose their hair long before older women do due to hormonal differences between the sexes. My daughter is thirty years younger than me, her ageing father, but has less hair on her head because she chooses to look that way. Go figure.
