Assume the problem is
\n" ); document.write( " Larry is 2x as old as Jane.
\n" ); document.write( " Jane is 6years younger then Tony.
\n" ); document.write( " and Tony is 12 years younger then Larry
\n" ); document.write( " how old is each?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( " Larry is 2x as old as Jane.
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2j
\n" ); document.write( " Jane is 6years younger then Tony.
\n" ); document.write( "j = t - 6
\n" ); document.write( " and Tony is 12 years younger then Larry
\n" ); document.write( "t = L - 12
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L with 2j
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2j - 12
\n" ); document.write( "Replace j with (t-6)
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2(t-6) - 12
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2t - 12 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "t - 2t = -24
\n" ); document.write( "-t = -24
\n" ); document.write( "t = 24 yrs is Tony's age
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "j = t - 6
\n" ); document.write( "j = 24 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "j = 18 yrs is Jane's ge
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2J
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2(18)
\n" ); document.write( "L = 36 yrs is Larry's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check this for yourself in each statement.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
