Joanne is 22 years older than her daughter: $\"+J+=+D+%2B+22\"$ (1)
\n" ); document.write( "In six years: $\"%28J%2B6%29\"$ and $\"%28D%2B6%29\"$ ...the sum of their ages will be 42 $\"%28J%2B6%29+%2B+%28D%2B6%29=42\"$ (2)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (1) to (2)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28D+%2B+22%2B6%29+%2B+%28D%2B6%29=42\"$ $\"D+=4\"$ and $\"J+=+26\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
