\n" ); document.write( "Ok so the problem is: \"Three years from now, Bob will be three times as old as he was three years ago. How old is Bob now?\"
\n" ); document.write( "I did try to solve this problem on my own, and found that Bob is 6 years old now, but I'm not sure that that is right. I set up my problem like this:
\n" ); document.write( "3+x=3(x-3)
\n" ); document.write( "3+x=3x-9
\n" ); document.write( "12=2x
\n" ); document.write( "6=x\r
