Last day of each calendar year, Ana and Josh order chocolate cake. Ana and josh split cake in the ratio of their years
(For example, if they are the same age, they split half-half). If 2015. Ana got double the piece than 8 years earlier,
how old are Ana and Josh?
If x is the age of Ana, and y is the age of Josh I've got y=(x(x+25))/(8-x). I get a solution by guessing a few options, but couldn't get
a clear solution. (Sorry for bad English)
