2S - 4 = F
\n" ); document.write( "F = 40
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simply substitute the value of F from the second equation into the first.
\n" ); document.write( "2S - 4 = 40
\n" ); document.write( "Add 4 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "2S = 44
\n" ); document.write( "Divide b 2
\n" ); document.write( "S = 22
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let's prove it.
\n" ); document.write( "Twice the age of the son (22 * 2 = 44) is 4 years older than his father (40).
\n" ); document.write( "44-4=40
\n" ); document.write( "success!
