You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let n = Nancy's age
\n" ); document.write( " let p = Peter's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement, simplify equation as much as you can
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Nancy is younger than peter who is nineteen years old
\n" ); document.write( "n < p
\n" ); document.write( "p = 19
\n" ); document.write( " three years ago her age was one quarter of peters age.
\n" ); document.write( "n - 3 = \"1%2F4\"(p - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 4, to get rid of the fraction
\n" ); document.write( "4(n - 3) = 1(p - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "4n - 12 = p - 3
\n" ); document.write( "4n = p - 3 + 12
\n" ); document.write( "4n = p + 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " How old is Nancy?
\n" ); document.write( "replace p with 19, (from the first statement)
\n" ); document.write( "4n = 19 + 9
\n" ); document.write( "4n = 28
\n" ); document.write( " n = 28/4
\n" ); document.write( "n = 7 yrs is Nancy's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check this solution in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\" three years ago her age was one quater of peters age.\"
\n" ); document.write( "7 - 3 = \"1%2F4\"(19 - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "4 = \"1%2F4\"(16) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
