Let \"+s+\" = Shubbam's age now
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+g+\" = grandfather's age now
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+-+16+\" = Shubbam's age 16 yrs ago
\n" ); document.write( "\"+g+-+16+\" = grandfather's age 16 yrs ago
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+8+\" = Shubbam's age 8 yrs from now
\n" ); document.write( "\"+g+%2B+8+\" = grandfather's age 8 yrs from now
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+g+-+16+=+8%2A%28+s+-+16+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+g+%2B+8+=+3%2A%28+s+%2B+8+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+g+-+16+=+8s+-+128+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+8s+-+g+=+112+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+g+%2B+8+=+3s+%2B+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+-3s+%2B+g+=+16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add the equations:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5s+=+128+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25.6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and, since
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+-3s+%2B+g+=+16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+-3%2A25.6+%2B+g+=+16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+-76.8+%2B+g+=+16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+g+=+92.8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "8 years from now, the ages will be:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%2Fg+=+%28%28+25.6+%2B+8+%29%29+%2F+%28%28+92.8+%2B+8+%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%2Fg+=+33.6+%2F+100.8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%2Fg+=+1%2F3+\"
