a man is 22 years older than his son. in 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 102. how old is each?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Son's age now = S\r\n" );
document.write( "Man's age now = S+22\r\n" );
document.write( "Son's age in 8 years = S+8\r\n" );
document.write( "Man's age in 8 years = (S+22)+8\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " in 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 102.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " \r\n" );
document.write( "    |     |    |     |   |\r\n" );
document.write( "(S+22)+8  +   S+8    =  102\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        (S+22)+8+S+8 = 102\r\n" );
document.write( "         \r\n" );
document.write( "You solve that for S, the son's age now, then\r\n" );
document.write( "add 22 to find the age of the father.\r\n" );
