Question 1059683
Jake is johns father. The sum of their age is 44. In 14 years jake will be twice as old is john. What is both their ages 
--------------------------
Equations:
o + a = 44
a+14 = 2(o+14)
-----
Substitute for "o" and solve for "a"::
a + 14 = 2(44-a+14)
-------
a + 14 = 2(58-a)
a + 14 = 116 - 2a
3a = 102
a = 34 years (jake's age)
----
o = 44-a = 10 years (John's age)
