anns age is three times kims in four years from now \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Ann = a
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Kim = k\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ann age is three times kims
\n" ); document.write( "a=3k.......(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In four years
\n" ); document.write( "Ann will be = a+4
\n" ); document.write( "Kim will be = k+4
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "Ann will be twice as old as kim
\n" ); document.write( "a+4=2(k+4)
\n" ); document.write( "a+4=2k+8
\n" ); document.write( "a=2k+8-4

\n" ); document.write( "3k=2k+4
\n" ); document.write( "3k-2k=4
\n" ); document.write( "k=4
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of k in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "a=3k
\n" ); document.write( "a=3*4
