Let
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Jenny = j
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Paul = p
\n" ); document.write( "Jenny Is Older Than Paul The Difference Of Their Ages Is Eight
\n" ); document.write( "j-p=8..........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "The Sum Of Their age Is Sixty
\n" ); document.write( "j+p=60.........(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Add (1) and (2)
\n" ); document.write( "j-p=8..........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "j+p=60.........(2)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "2j=68
\n" ); document.write( "2j/2=68/2
\n" ); document.write( "j=34
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of j in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "j+p=60.........(2)
\n" ); document.write( "34+p=60
\n" ); document.write( "p=60-34
\n" ); document.write( "p=26\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Jenny = j=34 years old
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Paul = p = 26 years old
