x = Pat's age
\n" ); document.write( "x + 19 = Albert's age {Albert is 19 years older than Pat}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 19 = 31 {sum of their ages is 31}
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 19 = 31 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 12 {subtracted 19 from each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 {divided each side by 2}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 19 = 25 {substituted 6, in for x, into x + 19}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pat is 6 and Albert is 25
