): three years ago, marc's age was 1 year more than thrice aaron's
\n" ); document.write( "m-3 = 3(a-3) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "m - 3 = 3a - 9 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "m = 3a - 8 + 3
\n" ); document.write( "m = 3a -5
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "m + 4 = 2(a+4) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "m + 4 = 2a + 8 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2a + 10 -4
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2a + 6
\n" ); document.write( "Replace m with (3a-5)
\n" ); document.write( "3a - 5 = 2a + 6
