So there are 2 numbers
pretend the smaller number is x, so the larger number must be 2x because it's twice as large
so 2x+x equals 54
simplifies to 3x=54
x= 18
the smaller number is 18 and the larger one is 36 (because 36 is 18 x 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent Aaron's age with x and
Charlene's age with x+8
x+x+8=44
2x+8=44
2x=44-8
2x=36
x=36÷2
x=18
Aaron is 18 years old.
While Charlene is 18+8=26 years old.
