Now:
grandpa --- x
grandma --- x-3
nine years ago:
grandpa ---- x-9
grandma ---- x-3 - 9 = x - 12
translate "Nine years ago, the sum of their ages was 105" into math
x-9 + x-12 = 105
carry on ....

X-9+x-12=105
X+x=105+9+12
2x=126
X=63
Grandmother x-3
63-3=60
Grandfather x
63
X+x=105+9+12
2x=126
X=63
Grandmother x-3
63-3=60
Grandfather x
