    Charlene is 26 and Aaron is 18.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to start by setting up an equation:

    In that case, we can represent their ages with A as our variable:

    (A + 8) + A = 44

    Solving:

    2A + 8 = 44

    We subtract 8:

    2A = 36

    Simplifying:

    A = 18.

    Now we can plug-and-chug:

    18 + 8 = 26. So Charlene is 26 and Aaron is 18.

    Check:

    When we plug in 26 + (26 - 8) we should get 44.

    26 + 18 = 44

    So we are correct.

    Answer: 36 sowwy if im wrong

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that Charlene is 8 years older than Aoran.

    The total sum is 44, so we write an equation,

    8 + ___ = 44

    we subtract 44 - 8 to find the sum

    44 - 8 = 36

    We check the problem we can do this by adding 36 and 8

    36 + 8 = 44

    8 + 6 = 14

    we bring the one from the 14 and add it to the 3 which is 3 + 1 = 4
