Let $\"+c+\"$ = Cary's age now
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+d+\"$ = Dan's age now
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+c+=+d+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+c+%2B+6+%2B+d+%2B+6+=+63+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+c+%2B+d+=+51+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+c+-+d+=+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+c+%2B+d+=+51+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2c+=+58+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+=+29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+c+=+d+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+29+=+d+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+d+=+22+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Cary is 29

\n" ); document.write( "In 6 yrs the sum of their ages is 63
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+29%2B+6+%2B+22+%2B+6+=+63+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+35+%2B+28+=+63+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+63+=+63+\"$
