let
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Suzan = s
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Ray = r\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Suzan is 7years older than her brother Ray
\n" ); document.write( "s=r+7............(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sum of their ages is 41
\n" ); document.write( "s+r=41.........(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of s from (1) to (2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r+7+r=41
