When the daughter was born:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d[0] = 0
\n" ); document.write( "m[0] = d\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now after adding d years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d[1] = d
\n" ); document.write( "m[1] = 2d\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have that the mother is twice as old as the daughter.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the mother is 36 right now, that means that the daughter is 18.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then 5 years ago, the daughter was 13. <--- Answer\r
