the ages of two cousins can be represented as consecutive integers.
\n" ); document.write( " fifteen years from now, the sum of their ages will be 57.
\n" ); document.write( "how old is each now?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = present age of one
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1) = present age of the other
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x+15) + (x+1+15) = 57
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 31 = 57
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 57 - 31
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 26
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"26%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13 and 14 are the present ages
\n" ); document.write( ";
