let n = N's present age
\n" ); document.write( "let g = G's present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write an equation and simplify it for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"five years ago,neeta was thrice as old as geeta.\"
\n" ); document.write( "n - 5 = 3(g-5)
\n" ); document.write( "n - 5 = 3g - 15
\n" ); document.write( "n = 3g - 15 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "n = 3g - 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"ten years later ,neeta will be twice as old as geeta.\"
\n" ); document.write( "n + 10 = 2(g+10)
\n" ); document.write( "n + 10 = 2g + 20
\n" ); document.write( "n = 2g + 20 - 10
\n" ); document.write( "n = 2g + 10
\n" ); document.write( "Replace n with (3g-10) from the 1st statement
\n" ); document.write( "3g - 10 = 2g + 10
\n" ); document.write( "3g - 2g = 10 + 10
\n" ); document.write( "g = 20 is G's present
