\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dawn's age today is 15.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Eve's age today is x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "My question to you is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What times 5 = 15?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "OR Can you solve for x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15 = 5x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15/5 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Eve's age today is 3 years old. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Think about it this way:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15 is 5 times more than 3, right?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Got it?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Do you understand why Eve is 3 years old? \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
