Let x = Audrey's age
Let 2x + 8 = Linda's age
x + 2x + 8 = 101
3x = 93
x = 31 years
2x + 8 = 2(31) + 8 = 70 years

thank you so much Carol H! This was hard for me to figure out and no matter how many YouTube things I looked up I just could not figure out how to solve this equation I really appreciate it.
