Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the age of Wymon now
s = the age of Subrina now
Wymon is 20 years older than subrina:
w = s + 20
In 8 years, wymon will be twice as old as Sabrina:
w + 8 = 2(s + 8)
by solving the system of equations:
w = s + 20
w + 8 = 2(s + 8)
we find:
w = 32 years
s = 12 years
