\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2 years ago, Jamie was half a she will be 9 years from now.\"
\n" ); document.write( "j - 2 = \"1%2F2\"(j+9)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "2(j - 2) = j + 9
\n" ); document.write( "2j - 4 = j + 9
\n" ); document.write( "2j - j = 9 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "j = 13 yrs is the present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
