Let $\"j\"$ = Jenson's age
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"u\"$ = his Uncle's age
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"j+-+%281%2F4%29%2Aj+-+%281%2F5%29%2Aj+=+22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"j+=+%284%2F5%29%2Au\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"j+-+%281%2F4%29%2Aj+-+%281%2F5%29%2Aj+=+22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"20\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"20j+-+5j+-+4j+=+440\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"20j+-+5j+-+4j+=+440\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"11j+=+440\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"j+=+40\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"j+=+%284%2F5%29%2Au\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"40+=+%284%2F5%29%2Au\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"200+=+4u\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"u+=+50\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Jenson is 40 and his Uncle is 50 \n" ); document.write( "
