Question

anonymous · Answer

Age now           Age in 8 years
Marie       x                        x+8
Robert  x+6                      x +6 + 8
x+8 + x +14 = 40
2x + 22 = 40
2x = 18
x = 9
Marie is 9 and Robert is 15

That can't be true because if you add eight to the totals then they wouldn't add up to 40
