Let A = the present age of the man.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A%28A+-+12%29+=+A+%2B+12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 2 through
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A+-+24+=+A+%2B+12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add 24 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A+=+A+%2B+36\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract A from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28A+=+36%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The man is currently 36.
\n" ); document.write( "12 years ago he was 24.
\n" ); document.write( "In 12 years he will be 48.
\n" ); document.write( "24 x 2 = 48 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
