L + T + A = 32
T = L - 10
L = A + T + 4

1. Substitute T = L - 10 into L + T + A = 32:
L + (L - 10) + A = 32
2L - 10 + A = 32
2L + A = 42

2. Substitute T = L - 10 into L = A + T + 4:
L = A + (L - 10) + 4
L = A + L - 6
0 = A - 6
A = 6

3. Substitute A = 6 into 2L + A = 42:
2L + 6 = 42
2L = 36
L = 18

4. Substitute L = 18 into T = L - 10:
T = 18 - 10
T = 8

5. Calculate the difference between executives in Lima and Arequipa:
L - A = 18 - 6 = 12
