Question 1048307
Give a variable to current age of each person, and LITERALLY WRITE THE EQUATIONS FOR THE DESCRIPTION.  Solve the system of equations.  Nothing strange.  


Some of that:
e, Elaine
t, Tyler
-
{{{system(e=t-8,e+t=34)}}}


Do the rest!
Just a simple substitution is a good first step.
{{{e+t=34}}}
{{{(t-8)+t=34}}}
and continue...
