Mrs. Wilson is 14 years younger than her aunt.
w = a - 14
;
If Mrs. Wilson's age in years is as much below 60 as her aunts age is over 40, how old is each
Let c = amt below 60 and above 40
:
40 + c = a
c = a - 40
and
w = 60 - c
c = 60 - w
Therefore
a - 40 = 60 - w
a = 60 + 40 - w
a = 100 - w
Replace w with (a-14)
a = 100 -(a-14)
a = 100 - a + 14
a + a = 114
a = 114/2
a = 57 yrs is the age of the aunt
then
57 - 14 = 43 yrs is W's age
