Let h = Henry's present age
\n" ); document.write( "Let c = Cheryl's present age
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Henry is ten more than two times as old as Cheryl.
\n" ); document.write( "h = 2c + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " In 20 years the sum of their ages will be 92.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(h+20) + (c+20) = 92
\n" ); document.write( "h + c + 40 = 92
\n" ); document.write( "h + c = 92 - 40
\n" ); document.write( "h + c = 52
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " How old is Cheryl now?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replace h with (2c+10)
\n" ); document.write( "2c + 10 + c = 52
\n" ); document.write( "2c + c = 52 - 10
\n" ); document.write( "3c = 42
\n" ); document.write( "c = \"42%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = 14 yrs is Cheryl's present age
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution:
\n" ); document.write( "Find h: h + 14 = 52; h = 38
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"In 20 years the sum of their ages will be 92.\"
\n" ); document.write( "38 + 20 + 14 + 20 = 92 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
