Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of years from now when
\n" ); document.write( "Raymond will be one half his dad's age
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+16+%2B+n+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%28+37+%2B+n+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+32+%2B+2n+=+37+%2B+n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+37+-+32+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "In 5 years Raymond will be 1/2 his dad's age
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+16+%2B+n+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%28+37+%2B+n+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+16+%2B+5+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%28+37+%2B+5+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+21+=+%281%2F2%29%2A42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+21+=+21+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
