x+8=4/3(x-6)
\n" ); document.write( "x+8=(4x-24)/3
\n" ); document.write( "3(x+8)=4x-24
\n" ); document.write( "3x+24=4x-24
\n" ); document.write( "3x-4x=-24-24
\n" ); document.write( "-x=-48
\n" ); document.write( "x=48 years old now.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "48+8=4/3(48-6)
\n" ); document.write( "56=4/3*42
\n" ); document.write( "56=168/3
\n" ); document.write( "56=56
