<pre>
                NOW         IN 8 YEARS         3 YEARS AGO
Allison          x           x+8                 x-3
Nelson           y           y+8                 y-3
</pre>

{{{system(x+8=2(y+8),x-3=3(y-3))}}}

-

{{{x+8=2y+16}}}
{{{x=2y+8}}}------------you can use this to substitute into the 3-y.ago equation.


{{{2y+8-3=3y-9}}}
{{{2y+5=3y-9}}}
{{{highlight(14=y)}}}
and you can evaluate x.
