Vicki's age is v so Grace's age is 4v.
\n" ); document.write( "Five years ago Vicki's age was v-5 and Grace's age was 4v-5.
\n" ); document.write( "At this time there was an age difference of 30 years
\n" ); document.write( "(4v-5) -(v-5) = 30
\n" ); document.write( "4v - 5 - v + 5 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "3v=30
\n" ); document.write( "v=10
\n" ); document.write( "i.e. Vicki's age is 10 and Grace's age is 40.
