Let
\n" ); document.write( "t = age of Tom
\n" ); document.write( "k=age of Kim
\n" ); document.write( "Tom is 10 years older than Kim means if we add 10 years to Kim age both will be of same age\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t=k+10 …………..(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next year means add 1 year to the age of kim and tom both\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t+1=2(k+1)
\n" ); document.write( "t+1=2k+2
\n" ); document.write( "t=2k+2-1
\n" ); document.write( "t=2k+1……………(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of t from (2) to (1)
\n" ); document.write( "2K+1=k+10
\n" ); document.write( "2k=k+10-1
\n" ); document.write( "2k=k+9
\n" ); document.write( "2k-k=9
\n" ); document.write( "k=9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of k in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "t=k+10
\n" ); document.write( "t=9+10
\n" ); document.write( "t=19\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tom is 19 years old and Kim is 9 years old.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
