    D = devaughn

    s=sydney

    s-d=14

    s+d=58

    *now you cancel out the d values because one is negative, and one is positive*

    s=14

    s=58

    *combine the two equations*

    2s=72

    /2 / 2

    s=36

    sidney is 36 years old, now plug 32 into one of the original equations, in order to find devaughns age.

    d+36=58

    -36 - 36

    d=22 devaughn is 22 years old
