You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be your age now and F be your future age in 15 years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(Age in 15 years) = (Age now) + 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "( F ) = ( x ) + 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "F = x + 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "F = 16 + 15 ... it says \"If you are 16 years old now\", so x = 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "F = 31\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You'll be 31 years old 15 years from now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation used is either F = x + 15 or F = 16 + 15 depending on how you do it. You can also manipulate the equation to get either F - x = 15 or F - 16 = 15. So there are many ways to do this.\r
