A)
The difference between your age and your
grandfather's age never changes.
Let +d%5B1%5D+ = this difference
Let +y+ = your age
Let +x+ = your grandfather's age
----------------------------------------
+y+=+x+-+d%5B1%5D+
-------------------
B)
The difference between your father's age and your
grandfather's age never changes.
Let this difference = +d%5B2%5D+
Let +y+ = your age
Let +x+ = your father's age
+y+=+x+%2B+d%5B2%5D+-+d%5B1%5D+
