    Answer: 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
