J is 2L, we can express this as:
\n" ); document.write( "J = 2L We'll use this value for J next
\n" ); document.write( "J+3+L+3 = 54 Substitute for J
\n" ); document.write( "2L+3+L+3 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "3L+6 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "3L = 48
\n" ); document.write( "L = 48/3 = 16 Lacy is 16
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "J = 2L = 2(16) = 32 Jacky is 32 \n" ); document.write( "
