\n" ); document.write( "Albert's father is 24 years old than Albert is. In 8 years, his father will be twice as old as Albert. How old is Albert now? How old is his father?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let father's current age, be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then Albert's is: F - 24
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: F + 8 = 2(F - 24 + 8)
\n" );
document.write( "F + 8 = 2(F - 16)
\n" );
document.write( "F + 8 = 2F - 32
\n" );
document.write( "F - 2F = - 32 - 8
\n" );
document.write( "- F = - 40
\n" );
document.write( "F, or father's current age = , or  \n" );
