Let conner age = c \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we are given that josh age = 12 years\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "also, according to the condition in the question i.e. If we add 2 to Conner’s age, it is exactly ½ the age of their older brother Josh..we get the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c + 2 = ( josh age )/ 2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now put the value of josh age in the equation and we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c + 2 = 12/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c + 2 = 6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 2 from both sides and we get,,,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c = 4 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "therefore conner age = 4 years\r
