Step-by-step explanation
J+S=24 and J=S+6 represents the relationship between ages.
John is 15 years old and Sally is 9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
John's age = J
Sally's age = S
According to given statement, the sum of their ages is 24;
Eqn 1
John is 6 years older than Sally means we will add 6 in Sally's age;
Eqn 2
Putting value of J from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1;

Dividing both sides by 2

Putting S=9 in Eqn 2

J+S=24 and J=S+6 represents the relationship between ages.
John is 15 years old and Sally is 9 years old.
