You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let your age = $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+500+-+3x+=+245+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+500+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-3x+=+245+-+500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-3x+=+-255+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+%28-255%29%2F%28-3%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+85+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "My age is 85 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
