This year, your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen. The sum of Jack's age and three times Jen's age is 66. How old is Jen?
\n" ); document.write( "J=Jack
\n" ); document.write( "E=Jen
\n" ); document.write( "J+2=2E
\n" ); document.write( "J+3E=66
\n" ); document.write( "J=2E-2
\n" ); document.write( "2E-2+3E=66
\n" ); document.write( "5E=66 *** 68
\n" ); document.write( "E=13.6 This doesn't seem correct?
\n" ); document.write( "Thanks! :)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "It is correct, it all checks out. It's unusual to have non-integers for age problems, maybe a typo in the book or in transcribing the problem.
