Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "George is six years younger than half aidans age.
\n" ); document.write( "G = 1/2 A - 6
\n" ); document.write( "George's age + Aiden's age = 21
\n" ); document.write( "G + A = 21
\n" ); document.write( "Replace 'G' with (1/2 A - 6)
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 A - 6 + A = 21
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 A + A = 21 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "3/2 A = 27
\n" ); document.write( "3A = 2 x 27
\n" ); document.write( "A = (2 x 27)/3
\n" ); document.write( "A = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Aiden is currently 18 years old
\n" ); document.write( "George = 1/2 Aiden's age - 6
\n" ); document.write( "George is currently 3 years old.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
