ages...y=x+10

12 yeers later...x+12+y+12=40

x +(x+10) +24=40

2x=40-24-10

2x=6

x=3 & y=13

Solution:
 
Let Alica's age be represented with x and Aline's age represented with x + 10.
 
In 12 years:
 
Add 12 to both ages 
 
Alica's age = x + 12 and Aline's age = (x + 10) + 12 = x + 22
 
The sum of their ages in 12 years will be 40, so the equation is as follows:
 
=> x + 12 + x + 22 = 40
 
=> 2x + 34 = 40
 
=> 2x = 40 - 34 = 6
 
or x = 6/2 = 3
 
So Alica is 3, and Aline is 13 (i.e. 3 + 10).
