Answer 1

Find out how old her dad was when Cindy was born by subtracting 2 from 28. Her dad was 26 when she was born. If Cindy is 18 then her dad is 26 years older than that. 18+26=dads age. Dads age is 44.

Answer 2

X = dad's age, Cindy is 18. Dad is 26 yrs older than Cindy therefore
x - 18 = 26
x = 26 + 18
x = 44
