\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the ages of Gregory and Marissa is 60 years.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "So G + M = 60\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "6 years ago, Gregory's age was 2 times Marissa's age. How old is Gregory now?
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "6 years ago Gregory was G-6 and Marissa was M-6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So G-6 equals 2 times M-6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the second equation is G-6 = 2(M-6)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So solve the system of equations by first simplifying the second equation:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"system%28G%2BM=60%2CG-6=2%28M-6%29%29\" \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "G=38, M=22\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
