Victoria is twice as old as Cory.
\n" ); document.write( "v = 2c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In 5 years the sum of their ages will be 28.
\n" ); document.write( "(v+5) + (c + 5) = 28
\n" ); document.write( "v + c + 10 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "v + c = 28 - 10
\n" ); document.write( "v + c = 18
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find their ages.
\n" ); document.write( "Replace v with 2c, find c
\n" ); document.write( "2c + c = 18
\n" ); document.write( "3c = 18
\n" ); document.write( "c = \"18%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = 6 hrs is Cory's age
\n" ); document.write( "then, obviously
\n" ); document.write( "2(6) = 12 is Victoria's age
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "In 5 years the sum of their ages will be 28.
\n" ); document.write( "12 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 28 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
