T=tom D=todd
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T=4D\"$ \"tom is now 4 times as old as todd\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T%2B3=13%2B2%28D%2B3%29\"$ \"in three years tom's age will be 13 years more than 2 times as old as tom\" Remember to add 3 years to both T and D
\n" ); document.write( "use substitution to solve for D
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T%2B3=13%2B2%28D%2B3%29\"$ $\"T=4D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284D%29%2B3=13%2B2%28D%2B3%29\"$ Use order of opperations
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284D%29%2B3=13%2B%282D%2B6%29\"$ add
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284D%29%2B3=19%2B2D\"$ subtract
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282D%29=16\"$ divide
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T=4D\"$ substitute
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T=4%288%29\"$ multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight+%28T=32%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
