Sam is twice as old as Mary.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Translation:  S = 2M\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Mary is one year older then Jim.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Translation:  M = J+1\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Jim's age is x.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Translation:  J = x\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Write an expression to find Sam's age in terms of x.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Translation:  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1. Use J = x to substitute x for J in M = J+1.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2. Then take what you get M to equal, \r\n" );
document.write( "   put parentheses around it,\r\n" );
document.write( "   and substitute it for M in S = 2M.  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3. Then distribute.\r\n" );
