You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let a = Andie's age, and (a+6) = Elsie's age. Set up an equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%2Ba%2B6=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for a.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2a%2B6=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2a=44\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We've found Andie's age, but we still have to find Elsie's age, so add 6 to 22.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2B22=28\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Thus, Andie is 22 years old and Elsie is 28.
