\n" ); document.write( "Jasmine is nw half as old as her father.12 years ao, the father was 3 times as old as jasmine.find their ages.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let Jasmine's age be J
\n" );
document.write( "Then father's age is: 2J
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 2J - 12 = 3(J - 12)	
\n" );
document.write( "2J - 12 = 3J - 36	
\n" );
document.write( "2J - 3J = - 36 + 12	
\n" );
document.write( "- J =  - 24
\n" );
document.write( "J, or Jasmine is: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C4%2C+%28-+24%29%2F%28-+1%29%2C+or%2C+24%2C+years-old%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Father's age: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C4%2C+2%2824%29%2C+or%2C+48%2C+years-old%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "It's as simple as that.....nothing COMPLEX and/or CONFUSING! \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
