<PRE><B>Question 1017852</B>
Let R be age of Ron and I be ae of Iezus, then
1) R + I = 92
2) (R+6) - (I+6) = 24
:
solve equation 1 for I
I = 92 - R
:
now substitute for I in equation 2
:
(R+6) - (92-R+6) = 24
R+6 -92+R-6 = 24
2R = 116
R = 58
I = 92 - 58 = 34
:
*********************************
Ron is 58 and Iezus is 34
*********************************
:
now check our answer by substituting for R and I in equation 2
:
(58+6) - (34+6) = 24
64 - 40 = 24
24 = 24
our answer checks   :-)
