Let R be age of Ron and I be ae of Iezus, then
\n" ); document.write( "1) R + I = 92
\n" ); document.write( "2) (R+6) - (I+6) = 24
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "solve equation 1 for I
\n" ); document.write( "I = 92 - R
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now substitute for I in equation 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(R+6) - (92-R+6) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "R+6 -92+R-6 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "2R = 116
\n" ); document.write( "R = 58
\n" ); document.write( "I = 92 - 58 = 34
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "*********************************
\n" ); document.write( "Ron is 58 and Iezus is 34
\n" ); document.write( "*********************************
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now check our answer by substituting for R and I in equation 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(58+6) - (34+6) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "64 - 40 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "24 = 24
