Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Daddy = x
\n" ); document.write( "Mummy = x - 5
\n" ); document.write( "Kid = (x - 5)/2
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x - 5) + (x - 5)/2 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply throughout by 2
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2(x - 5) + (x - 5) = 200
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2x - 10 + x - 5 = 200
\n" ); document.write( "collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2x + x = 200 + 10 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 215
\n" ); document.write( "x = 43
\n" ); document.write( "Daddy = 43
\n" ); document.write( "Mummy = 38
\n" ); document.write( "Kid = 19
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
