<PRE><B>Question 756418</B>
P for Pete
A for Anna


Anna seems to be older than Pete.
{{{A-P=14 }}}
and
{{{(A-6)=2(P-6)}}}
That is the system initially.


A-6=2P-12
A-2P=6-12
A-2P=-6
A=2P-6


Substitute the A in the first equation to solve for P, although this is not the only method you may use.
(2P-6)-P=14
2P-6-P=14
P-6=14
P=8, so A=6</PRE>
