\n" ); document.write( "a = e + 10
\n" ); document.write( "(a+4)= 2(e+4)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"a\" and solve for \"e\":
\n" ); document.write( "(e+10+4) = 2(e+4)
\n" ); document.write( "e+14 = 2e+8
\n" ); document.write( "e = 6 (eden's age now)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Since a = e+10, a = 16 (aljon's age now)
