_____________SON's BIRTH______________NOW
\n" ); document.write( "FATHER________30______________________y+30
\n" ); document.write( "SON____________0_______________________y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From birth to now was passage of y years.
\n" ); document.write( "NOW, \"y%2B30=3%2Ay\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30=3y-y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=15%29\"------The son's age now.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B30=15%2B30=highlight%2845%29\"-------The father's age now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Starting from now, when will son be half his father's age?
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = how many years pass from now.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%2815%2Bw=%281%2F2%29%2845%2Bw%29%29\"----Solve for w.
