Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A IS three time old as B
\n" ); document.write( "A = 3B
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "C was twice as old as A four year ago
\n" ); document.write( "C -4 = 2(A-4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in four year time A will 31.
\n" ); document.write( "A + 4 = 31
\n" ); document.write( "A =31- 4
\n" ); document.write( "A = 27 yrs, his present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Then using the 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( "c - 4 = 2(27 - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "C - 4 = 2(23)
\n" ); document.write( "c = 46 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "C = 50 yrs, his present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "and the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "27 = 3B
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "9 = B
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " What the present age B and C?
\n" ); document.write( "B is 9, C is 50 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
