let present ages of Thess and Bryan be x, y respectively
\n" ); document.write( " sum of their ages is 60
\n" ); document.write( " so x+y= 60
\n" ); document.write( " thess is four years younger than bryan
\n" ); document.write( "so x+4 =y
\n" ); document.write( "put y=x+4 in x+y= 60
\n" ); document.write( " x+(x+4)=60
\n" ); document.write( " x+x+4=60
\n" ); document.write( " 2x+4 =60
\n" ); document.write( " move 4 to the right
\n" ); document.write( " 2x=60-4
\n" ); document.write( " 2x=56
\n" ); document.write( " divide with 2 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " 2x/2= 56/2
\n" ); document.write( " x= 28
\n" ); document.write( " y= 28+4 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "So ages of thess is 28 years
\n" ); document.write( "age of Bryan is 32 years
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
