let a = the age of the girl
let g = age of grandmother

Write an equation for each statement
:
"the age of a girl in months is equal to the age of her grandmother in years"
12a = g
:
if the differences between their ages is 66 years "
g - a = 66
replace g with 12a
12a - a = 66
11a = 66
a = 66/11
a = 6 yrs is the girls age
