laura is 6 years older than theresa,
\n" ); document.write( "L = T+6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In 2 years laura will be twice as old as theresa.
\n" ); document.write( " L + 2 = 2(T+2)
\n" ); document.write( " L + 2 = 2T + 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find their ages.
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (T+6) for L in the above equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(T+6) + 2 = 2T + 4
\n" ); document.write( " T + 8 = 2T + 4
\n" ); document.write( " 8 - 4 = 2T - T
\n" ); document.write( " 4 = T
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "T's age is 4, that makes L's age: 4 + 6 = 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution for equality in two years
\n" ); document.write( "10 + 2 = 2(4 + 2) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
