Assume Bill's current age = x years
\n" ); document.write( "Jim's current age = x+21 years
\n" ); document.write( "Per question,
\n" ); document.write( "(x+21)-12 = 2(x-12)
\n" ); document.write( "=> x+9 = 2x-24
\n" ); document.write( "=> x = 33
\n" ); document.write( "Bill is 33 years old and Jim's age is 54 years \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
