Let \"h\" = Harry's age now
\n" ); document.write( "Then \"2h\" = Harry's Father's age now
\n" ); document.write( "Harry's age was \"h+-+16\" 16 years ago
\n" ); document.write( "Harry's Father's age was \"2h+-+16\" 16 years ago
\n" ); document.write( "\"2h+-+16+=+4%2A%28h+-+16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2h+-+16+=+4h+-+64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2h+=+64+-+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2h+=+48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2h+=+48\"
\n" ); document.write( "Harry is 24 now and his Father is 48 now\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
