The difference between the ages of two sisters is 10 years.
\n" ); document.write( " If 15 years ago the elder one was twice as old as the younger one.
\n" ); document.write( " Find their present ages
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Two sisters a & b
\n" ); document.write( "\"The difference between the ages of two sisters is 10 years.\"
\n" ); document.write( "a - b = 10
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "a = (b+10)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"If 15 years ago the elder one was twice as old as the younger one.\"
\n" ); document.write( "a - 15 = 2(b - 15)

\n" ); document.write( "a = 2b - 30 + 15
\n" ); document.write( "a = 2b - 15
\n" ); document.write( "Replace a with (b+10)
\n" ); document.write( "b + 10 = 2b - 15

\n" ); document.write( "25 = b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "So b is 25, you can find a, Check your solutions in the 2nd statement \n" ); document.write( "
