(Representation, Equation, Solution, Answer)
1. 8 years from now peter will be 26 years old. The current sum of the ages of peter and paul is 53. How old is paul right now?

Let x be Peter's current age.
Then, x + 8 = 26. Solve for x.
x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8
x = 18.
Peter is 18 years old right now.
Let y be Paul's current age.
Then y + 18 = 53. Solve for y.
y + 18 - 18 = 53 - 18
y = 35
Therefore, Paul is currently 35 years old.
