Set them all in terms of Sue's age as being x.
\n" ); document.write( "Sue=x
\n" ); document.write( "Leah=x+6
\n" ); document.write( "John=x+11
\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+6)+(x+11)=41
\n" ); document.write( "3x=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=8
\n" ); document.write( "Sue=8
\n" ); document.write( "Leah=14
\n" ); document.write( "John=19
\n" ); document.write( "
