Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assign each person a variable using the first letter of his/her name.
Then we get the following equations based on the information given:

Then we can use substitution:

Rearrange the second equation:

Multiple the equation by 3:

Combine the equations to solve for a single variable (L):

Then we have a new equation:

Use substitution to get the rest:

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
|a+x|/2-|a-x|/2
Plug in the values.
|-2+-6|/2-|-2- -6|/2
Evaluate.
|-8|/2-|4|/2
Apply rule : |-a| = a
8/2 - 4/2
4 - 2
Subtract.
= 2
