Let
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Zsazsa = z years old
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Mayet = m years old\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Zsazsa is twice as old as Mayet
\n" ); document.write( "z=2m...........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their ages is 4 times Mayet's age less 46
\n" ); document.write( "z+m=4m-46............(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of z from (1) to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "z+m=4m-46............(2)
\n" ); document.write( "2m+m=4m-46
\n" ); document.write( "3m=4m-46
\n" ); document.write( "3m-4m=-46
\n" ); document.write( "-m=-46
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by -1 both sides
\n" ); document.write( "m=46
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of m in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "z=2m
\n" ); document.write( "z=2(46)
\n" ); document.write( "z=92\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Zsazsa = z = 92 years old
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Mayet = m = 46 years old
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
