Let $\"x\"$ is Maea age now
\n" ); document.write( "Then Vincent age is $\"%28x-5%29\"$ years.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their ages is $\"x%2B%28x-5%29=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bx-5=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=25%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=30%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=15\"$ years is Maea age
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15-5=10\"$ years is Vincent age \n" ); document.write( "
