Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the sum of the age of mother and her daughter is 70 years.\"
\n" ); document.write( "m + d = 70:
\n" ); document.write( "d = (70-m)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\" 10 years ago,three times the age of mother was the same as seven times the age of her daughter.
\n" ); document.write( "3(m-10) = 7(d-10)
\n" ); document.write( "3m - 30 = 7d - 70
\n" ); document.write( "3m = 7d - 70 + 30
\n" ); document.write( "3m = 7d - 40
\n" ); document.write( "Replace d with (70-m)
\n" ); document.write( "3m = 7(70-m) - 40
\n" ); document.write( "3m = 490 - 7m - 40
\n" ); document.write( "3m + 7m = 490 - 40
\n" ); document.write( "10m = 450
\n" ); document.write( "m = 45 is Mom's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can find d's age and confirm this solution in the last statement\r
