\r\n" );
document.write( "M = K + 44,         (1)   (\"Miguel is 44 years older than Kendra\")\r\n" );
document.write( "M + 14 = 2(K+14).   (2)   (\"In 14 years he will be 2 times her age.)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute (1) into (2). You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(K+44) + 14 = 2(K+14).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify and solve:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "K + 58 = 2K + 28  --->  K = 30.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  Kendra is 30 years old. Miguel is 74.\r\n" );
