What are our ages now?
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "I = my age now\r\n" );
document.write( "S = my son's age now\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "I am currently 5 times as old as my son.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "I = 5S\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "In 6 years time I will be (I+6) three (3) times as old as he
\n" ); document.write( "will be then (S+6).
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "I+6 = 3(S+6)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute 5S for I\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5S+6 = 3(S+6)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve that for S and that will be the age of my son.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then substitute what you get for S in\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "I = 5S\r\n" );
