Let John's and Shane's ages, be J, and S, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Then 6 years ago, we had: J + S - 2(6) = 13
\n" );
document.write( "J + S - 12 = 13
\n" );
document.write( "J + S = 13 + 12
\n" );
document.write( "J + S = 25
\n" );
document.write( "In 8 years, sum of ages, or J + S + 2(8), or J + S + 16
\n" );
document.write( "Since J + S = 25, then J + S + 16 becomes: 25 + 16, or  \n" );
