Ann is six years more than four times her son Trevor's age. \r\n" );
document.write( "If the sum of their ages is forty-six, how old is Ann?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( ">>...Ann is six years more than four times her son Trevor's age...<<\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace \"Ann\" by A and \"her son Trevor's age\" by T\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you have \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "A is six years more than four times T.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace the words \"four times T\" with \"4T\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "A is six years more than 4T\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To find \"six years more than 4T, we add 6 to 4T\r\n" );
document.write( "and get 4T + 6, so replace \"six years more than 4T\"\r\n" );
document.write( "by \"4T + 6\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "A is 4T + 6\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace \"is\" by \" = \"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "Replace forty-six by 46 and \"is\" by \" = \"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "A + T = 46.\r\n" );

document.write( "So you have the system of equations:\r\n" );
