marrianne figured out that her father's age is her age plus five to the power
\n" ); document.write( " of four, less 365, minus 22, all divided by six. if her father is 42,
\n" ); document.write( " how old is marrianne?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let m = her age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write what it says:
\n" ); document.write( "\"father's age is her age plus five to the power of four, less 365, minus 22, all divided by six.\"
\n" ); document.write( "42 = \"%28%28m+%2B+5%5E4+-+365+-+22%29%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is
\n" ); document.write( "42 = \"%28%28m+%2B+625+-+387%29%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "42 = \"%28%28m+%2B+238%29%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6 and rearrange
\n" ); document.write( "m + 238 = 6(42)
\n" ); document.write( "m = 252 - 238
\n" ); document.write( "m = 14 yrs old is M's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check solution, substitute 14 for m in the original equation and see if you get 42 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
