You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = Gavin's age now
+x+%2B+4+ = Angel's age now
------------------------------------
+x+%2B+6+=+x+%2B+4+%2B+2+
+x+%2B+6+=+x+%2B+6+
This doesn't give you any new information
The problem can't be solved
Their ages in 6 years will be:
+x+%2B+6+ = Gavin's age
+x+%2B+4+%2B+6+ = Angel's age
