You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Paul is 8 years older then julie.
p = j + 8
Julie is half as old as Paul.
j =1%2F2p
Write an equation you you can use to model the problem.
replace p with j+8) in the above equation
j = 1%2F2(j+8)
to solve
multiply both sides by 2
2j = j + 8
2j - j = 8
j = 8 yrs is Julie's age
YOu can find Paul's age
