\n" ); document.write( "A = 2K
\n" ); document.write( "in 6 years, their ages will total 60
\n" ); document.write( "(A + 6) + (K + 6) = 60
\n" ); document.write( "Replace A with 2K
\n" ); document.write( "(2K + 6) + (K + 6) = 60
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets
\n" ); document.write( "2K + 6 + K + 6 = 60
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "2K + K = 60 - 6 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "3K = 48
\n" ); document.write( "K = 16
