Let their ages be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+\"$ ( Greggy )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2B2+\"$ ( Gerry )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+4+\"$ ( Gary )
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+x+%2B+4+%29+%2B+3+=+2%2A%28%28+x+%29+%2B+3+%29+-+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+7+=+2x+%2B+6+-+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+7+%2B+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2B2+=+11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+4+=+13+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Their ages are 9, 11, and 13
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Gary is 13
\n" ); document.write( "In 3 yrs he will be 16
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In 3 yrs Greggy will be 12
\n" ); document.write( "Twice Greggy's age is 24
\n" ); document.write( "8 less than 24 is 16
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
