Juan's age = J
\n" ); document.write( "Suki's age = S\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "J=\"1%2F2\"S because Juan is one half as old as Suki.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also J+8=\"3%2F4\"(S+8) because in 8 years Juan will be \"3%2F4\" as old as Suki.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SO\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "J+8=\"3%2F4\"S+(\"3%2F4\")8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "J+8=\"3%2F4\"S+6
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 8 from both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "J=\"3%2F4\"S-2
\n" ); document.write( "Since J=\"1%2F2\"S then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2\"S=\"3%2F4\"S-2
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract \"3%2F4\"S from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-\"1%2F4\"S=-2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by -4
\n" ); document.write( "S=8 and Juan is \"1%2F2\"8 or 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
