Let \"+x+\" = child's current age
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+10+\" = child's age in 10 yrs
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+10+=+2x+%2B+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+10+-+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The child is 7
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "In 10 yrs, child is 17
\n" ); document.write( "Twice child's current age is 14
\n" ); document.write( "\"+14+%2B+3+=+17+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
