Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Ryan (r) = r

Heather (h) = r - 6


\begin{gathered} r+h=52 \\ h=r-6 \\ r+r-6=52 \\ 2r-6=52 \\ 2r=52+6 \\ 2r=58 \\ r=(58)/(2)=29 \\ r=29 \\ \\ \therefore Ryan^(\prime)s\text{ age is 29 years old} \end{gathered}

Therefore, Ryan is 29 years old
