let a = one age
let b = another's age
:
rewrite this to make some sense
The sum of their ages is 54 years
a + b = 54
If 20 yrs is subtracted from twice a's age the result is 6
a - 20 = 6
a = 26 yrs
then
b = 54 - 26
b = 28 yrs
:
Find the age of each. a=26, b=28

2A = 26
A, or age of “after” =
Age of “their”:
