Let m = mom's age
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = twin's age
\n" ); document.write( "Sum of ages = 58
\n" ); document.write( "Since mom was 25 when twins were born
\n" ); document.write( "m = t + 25
\n" ); document.write( "sum is
\n" ); document.write( "t + t + m = 58
\n" ); document.write( "2t + m = 58
\n" ); document.write( "2t + t + 25 = 58
\n" ); document.write( "3t + 25 = 58
\n" ); document.write( "3t = 58 - 25
\n" ); document.write( "3t = 33
\n" ); document.write( "t = 33/3
\n" ); document.write( "t = 11
\n" ); document.write( "m = t +25
\n" ); document.write( "m = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Is (t+t+m = 58)?
\n" ); document.write( "Is (11+11+36=58)?
\n" ); document.write( "Is (58=58)? Yes
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: The twins are 11 and mother is 36. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
