\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = no. of year for this to be true
\n" ); document.write( "y + 9 = \"1%2F2\"(y+32)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "2(y+9) = y + 32
\n" ); document.write( "2y + 18 = y + 32
\n" ); document.write( "2y - y = 32 - 18
\n" ); document.write( "y = 14 yrs for this to be true
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "Check it:
\n" ); document.write( "M: 9 + 14 = 23
\n" ); document.write( "D: 32 + 14 = 46 \n" ); document.write( "
