Question 1023394
Literally translate the description into number statements.


x, Brigit
y, Andrew


{{{system(x=8+y,(x+20)+(y+20)=128)}}}



--
Assign variables to unknown quantities.  Brigit's age and Andrew's age are unknown and these were then assigned.  Use these variable assignments to translate the description of the problem literally, into equations.


The equations are formed to account for the age relation between Andrew and Brigit "now" and to account for that relation in some unknown x years in the future, and this equation-based accounting comes LITERALLY from the description.


Next, SOLVE the system of equations.  DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THAT SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS?
