\n" ); document.write( "I couldn't come up with a system of equations for this, Came up with this method
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A line representing their present ages
\n" ); document.write( "12------------S------------A------------66
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the difference: 66 - 12 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "Divide the difference by 3: 54/3 = 18 yrs is the difference in their ages
\n" ); document.write( "therefore:\
\n" ); document.write( " Student is 12 + 18 = 30 yrs
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " Ali is 30 + 18 = 48 yrs old
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"when i was at your age you were 12 year old,\"
\n" ); document.write( "Ali: 48 - 18 = 30 which is the students present age
\n" ); document.write( "Student: 30 - 18 = 12 yrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"when you are at my age,i will be 66 year old \"
\n" ); document.write( "Student: 30 + 18 = 48 which is Ali's present age
