Charlene is 8 years older than Aarons. The sun of their age is 44.what are their ages.

The ages are 18 and 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be represented by c and a

From the information given,

C + 8 = a

c + a = 44

Substitute equation 1 into 2

C +( c +8)= 44

2c + 8 = 44

2c = 44 - 8

2c = 36

Divide both sides by 2

C= 36/2 = 18

If Charlene is 18years, insert the age of charlene into equation 2

18 + a = 44

Subtract 18 from both sides

a = 44 - 18

a = 26

The ages are 18 and 26 years
