\n" ); document.write( "let man's age be \"x\" and son's age \"y\"
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=8\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In how many years (let it be \"k\") will the man be twice as old as his son:\"x%2Bk=2%28y%2Bk%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"32%2Bk=2%288%2Bk%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"32%2Bk=16%2B2k\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"32-16=2k-k\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k=16\".......in \"16\" years the man will be twice as old as his son\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"32%2B16=48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2B16=24\"=>\"2%2A24=48\"\r
