Gracie is four years younger than Rose💚Gracie is four years younger than Rose. The sum of their ages is 24. What are their ages?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let Gracie's and Rose's ages be G and R
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: R - G = 4 ----- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, R + G = 24 ------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "Add the 2 equations and simplify to find R, Rose's age.
\n" );
document.write( "Use that value in eq (ii) to find G, or Gracie's age! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
