Answer:
10 and 16, x+(x+6)=26
Step-by-step explanation:
Michelle has an age we don't know, so we put her age as x.
Yogi is 6 years older than her, so her age is x+6
Michelle=x
Yogi=x+6
we know both their ages equal 26. so we set it up as
x+(x+6)=26
combining like terms we get
2x+6=26
subtract 6 from both sides
2x=20
divide both sides by 2
x=10
now that we have the value for x, we plug it into their original ages
Michelle is 10, because her age is just x.
Yogi is 16, because her age is x+6
