    Josephina is 42 and Cameron is 46. The equation is 42 plus 46 = 88.

    Josephina’s age = J

    Cameron’s age = C

    C-J = 4

    C+J = 88

    Solve for C in the first equation

    C=4+J

    Substitute

    (4+J) + J=88

    4 + 2J = 88

    2J = 84

    J = 42

    Then plug that back in

    C = 4+42

    C=46

    Josephina is 42 and Cameron is 46
