Let \"+s+\" = son's age now
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+f+\" = father's age now
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+s+%2B+f+=+50+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+f+%2B+5+=+2%2A%28+s+%2B+5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "It's possible to solve this using just one
\n" ); document.write( "variable such as \"+x+\", but I think it's
\n" ); document.write( "more clear to do it this way.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+f+=+50+-+s+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (1) into (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+50+-+s+%2B+5+=+2%2A%28+s+%2B+5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+55+-+s+=+2s+%2B+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+3s+=+45+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+s+=+15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+f+=+50+-+s+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+f+=+50+-15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+f+=+35+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The father is 35 and
\n" ); document.write( "the son is 15
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+f+%2B+5+=+2%2A%28+s+%2B+5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"35+%2B+5+=+2%2A%28+15+%2B+5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+40+=+2%2A20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+40+=+40+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
