Let
A = Ana's age
L = Lisa's age

"Ana's age is 4 more than Lisa's age"

turns into

Ana's age = (Lisa's Age) + 4

Now replace those phrases with what they defined by (see above) to get

A = L + 4

-------------------------------------------------------

So lisa is L years old and ana is L+4 years old.

Add the two ages

(Ana's age) + (Lisa's age)

(L+4) + (L)

L + 4 + L

(L + L) + 4

2L + 4

is the sum of their two ages
