Let J = Jaime's present age and S = his son's present age, then...
\n" ); document.write( "1) \"J+=+S%2B35\" \"Jaime is now 35 years older than his son.\"
\n" ); document.write( "2) \"J%2B5+=+2%28S%2B5%29\" \"In 5 years, he (Jaime) will be twice as old as his son.\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute equation 1) into equation 2) and solve for S.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28S%2B35%29%2B5+=+2%28S%2B5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"S%2B40+=+2S%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40+=+S%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28S+=+30%29\" This is the son's age.
\n" ); document.write( "\"J+=+S%2B35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28J+=+65%29\" This is Jaime's age.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
