r for Ross age, and h for Holly age.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=5%2B2%2Ah\", Ross is five years older than twice his sister Holly's age.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r-h=14\", The difference in their ages is 14 years. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I would take r from the first equation and substitute into the second equation, and solve for h. You could then use what you found for h to find value of r.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28r%29-h=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2B2h%29-h=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "and continue...
