Let x = the age of ThomasLet x + 6 = the age of Huilan

Let x = the age of ThomasLet x + 6 = the age of Huilanx + x + 6 = 70

Let x = the age of ThomasLet x + 6 = the age of Huilanx + x + 6 = 702x + 6 = 70

Let x = the age of ThomasLet x + 6 = the age of Huilanx + x + 6 = 702x + 6 = 702x = 64

Let x = the age of ThomasLet x + 6 = the age of Huilanx + x + 6 = 702x + 6 = 702x = 64x = 32 years

Let x = the age of ThomasLet x + 6 = the age of Huilanx + x + 6 = 702x + 6 = 702x = 64x = 32 yearsx+6 = 38 years
