The sum of McCall and Nikki's age is 52.
Nikki is 8 years less than twice as old as McCall. How old is each person?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add 8 to 52 to get 60.


These 60 consists of two parts, of which one part is twice the other part.


So, the parts are 20 years and 40 years.


20 years is the McCall's age, while Nikki's age is 2*20-8 = 32.    ANSWER


CHECK.  20 + 32 = 52 years, in total.    ! Correct !

Solved.
