Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the age of Alysha = x

As given in question, Alysha is 2 years younger than Bryce.

So age of Bryce will be =
x+2

As per given in question the sum of their ages is 28, so


x + x +2 = 28


2x + 2 = 28

Subtracting 2 fom both sides


2x + 2 - 2 = 28 - 2


2x = 26

Dividing 2 in both sides

x = 13

Means age of Alysha will be = 13

Means age of Bryce will be =
13 +2 = 15

Alysha and Bryce ages are 13 and 15 years respectively. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
