Skyler's age is 72 and Kori's age is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: From the given details, form equations. Let the age of Skyler be x and that of Kori be 96 - x (since their sum is 96).
  • Step 2: Considering their ages 8 years ago, form equations.

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (96 - x - 8)

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (88 - x)

⇒ (x - 8) = 352 - 4x

⇒ 5x = 360

⇒ x = 72

  • Step 3: Calculate Kori's age

⇒ 96 - x = 24
