x = Rohan's age now
\n" ); document.write( "5x = grandmother's age now\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 10 = Rohan's age after 10 years {added 10 onto current age}
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 10 = grandmother's age after 10 years {added 10 onto current age}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x + 10 = 3(x + 10) {after 10 years, grandmother will be 3 times Rohan's age}
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 10 = 3x + 30 {used distributive property}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 20 {subtracted 3x and 10 from each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 {divided each side by 2}
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 50 {substituted 10, in for x, into 5x}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rohan is 10
\n" ); document.write( "Grandmother is 50
