A man is two times older than his son. together their ages equal 63, what are their ages?
\n" ); document.write( "====================
\n" ); document.write( "two times older = 3 times as old
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "S = son's age
\n" ); document.write( "M = man's age
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "M = 3S
\n" ); document.write( "M + S = 63
\n" ); document.write( "3S + S = 63
\n" ); document.write( "4S = 63
\n" ); document.write( "Son's age = 63/4 = 15.75
\n" ); document.write( "Man's age = 47.25
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
\n" ); document.write( "2 times older is 200% older.
\n" ); document.write( "Age + 200% of Age = 300%
\n" ); document.write( "= 3 times as old.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "2 times older is not the same as 2 times as old.
\n" ); document.write( "A lot of people don't understand that, and some of those write math books, unfortunately.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
