Let g = girl's age
\n" ); document.write( "Let m = mother's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"A girl is 1/3 her mothers age.\"
\n" ); document.write( "g = \"1%2F3\"m
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"The differences in their ages is 20 years.\"
\n" ); document.write( "m - g = 20
\n" ); document.write( "From the 1st equation, replace g with \"1%2F3\"m
\n" ); document.write( "m - \"1%2F3\"m = 20
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\"m = 20
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3, results:
\n" ); document.write( "2m = 3*20
\n" ); document.write( "2m = 60
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"60%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "m = 30 is Mom's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
