\n" ); document.write( "kayla is 9 years older than twice hannah's age. if the difference in their ages is 16, how old is kayla? how old is hannah? jacob finds hannah's age to be 16 years. is he correct?
\n" ); document.write( "
Let Hanna's age be H
\n" );
document.write( "Then Kayla's is: 2H + 9
\n" );
document.write( "It's quite clear that Kayla is older than Hanna, so we can say that Kayla's age is also: H + 16
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 2H + 9 = H + 16
\n" );
document.write( "2H - H = 16 - 9
\n" );
document.write( "H, or Hanna is: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C2%2C+7%2C+years-old%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Kayla is: 
\n" );
document.write( "He's INCORRECT in every sense of the word! Hanna's age, based on the problem, is 7, and CANNOT be any other. \n" );
