Nathan has two brothers, Conner and Josh. \n" ); document.write( "If we add 2 to Conner's age, it is exactly 1/2 the age of their older brother Josh, who is 12. How old is Conner? \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "(c+2) = (1/2)(12) \n" ); document.write( "c+2 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "c = 4 \n" ); document.write( "======== \n" ); document.write( "I got the answer of 4 years old. \n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "================================================ \n" ); document.write( "Now here is the problem. How many years will it be until Conner's age is 1/2 of Josh's age? \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "(c+x) = (1/2)(12+x) \n" ); document.write( "4+x = 6 + x/2 \n" ); document.write( "(1/2)x = 2 \n" ); document.write( "x = 4 yrs \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "I know it is 4 years.
