The sum of a man's age and his daughter's age is 50 years. Eight years from now, the man will be 2 times as old as his daughter will be then. Find the present age of each.

This problem involves solving simultaneous equations.
You need to write two equations (one for the present, and one for 8 years time) to solve for two variables (the man's age and his daughter's age).
Can you do that?
Can you solve the equations together?
