In order to solve this problem, we transform the statements into algebraic expressions. First, we assign the variables.

Let:

x = Gina’s number

y = Sara’s number

For the first equation, we show that Gina’s number is greater than Sara’s number by 2. For the second equation, we show that the sum of both numbers is 68.

(1)  x – y = 2

(2)  x + y = 68
