let x be the current age of amber
\n" ); document.write( " Cameron is fourteen years younger than amber
\n" ); document.write( " Cameron's age is x-14
\n" ); document.write( " Cameron's age two years ago is x-14-2
\n" ); document.write( "amber's current age is three times what cameron's age two years ago
\n" ); document.write( " x= 3*(x-14-2)
\n" ); document.write( " x =3*(x-16)
\n" ); document.write( " x=3*x-3*16
\n" ); document.write( "x= 3x-48
\n" ); document.write( " move -48 to the left
\n" ); document.write( " 48+x= 3x
\n" ); document.write( " move x to the right
\n" ); document.write( " 48 =3x-x
\n" ); document.write( " 48 =2x
\n" ); document.write( " divide with 2 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"48%2F2+=2x%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"24+=x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " so amber's current age is 24 years
\n" ); document.write( " cameron's age = 24-14 = 10 years
\n" ); document.write( "result : cameron's age = 10 years
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
