can anyone explain q2 part c of maths 4024 w12 qp 21

(c)(i) Let x be Ada's Age
Let y be Bill's age

Bill's age 1 year ago = y-1
Ada's age 1 year ago = x-1

6 (x-1) = y-1

6x - 5 = y

(c)(ii) - Bill's age after 19 years = y + 19
- Ada's age after 19 years = x + 19

- Ada after 19 years = 2 (x+19) = y + 19

- 2x + 19 = y

(c)(iii) 6x - 5 = y ----- 1

2x + 19 = y ------2

Solve them like simultaneous equations.

Answer of x = 6
Answer of y = 31
