let f = father's present age
\n" ); document.write( "let s = son's present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the sum of ages of the son and his father is 69.\"
\n" ); document.write( "f + s = 69
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If the fathers age is twice as his sons age increased by 9,\"
\n" ); document.write( "f = 2s + 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the above equation for substitution in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "f + s = 69
\n" ); document.write( "replace f with (2s+9)
\n" ); document.write( "2s + 9 + s = 69
\n" ); document.write( "2s + s = 69 - 9
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 60
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"60%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 20 yrs is the son's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can use the 2nd equation to find the father's age, substitute 20 for s.
\n" ); document.write( "Then check their sum in the 1st equation.\r
