Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make Karen's age = 'x'
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 2/5x = 17
\n" ); document.write( "2/5x = 17 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "2/5x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5 x 12
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 60
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "Karen is 30 years old.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
