x, May
y, Sam

system%28y=3x%2Cy%2B2=2%28x%2B2%29%29

y%2B2=2x%2B4
y=2x%2B2
3x=2x%2B2
highlight%28x=2%29
-
highlight%28y=6%29

Young children. If they are chatting about this, Sam is doing most of the chatting. May seems to be too young to have much to say.

Sam is only 6, and May is just 2 years old.
