let t = the age of the twins
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A mother is 33 years older than her twin children.
\n" ); document.write( "m = t + 33
\n" ); document.write( " In 3 years her age will be twice the combined ages of the twins.
\n" ); document.write( "m + 3 = 2(2(t+3))
\n" ); document.write( "m + 3 = 4t + 12
\n" ); document.write( "m = 4t + 12 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "m = 4t + 9
\n" ); document.write( " How old are the twins now?
\n" ); document.write( "Replace m with t + 33
\n" ); document.write( "t + 33 = 4t + 9
\n" ); document.write( "33 - 9 = 4t - t
\n" ); document.write( "24 = 3t
\n" ); document.write( "t = 24/3
\n" ); document.write( "t = 8 yrs old the twins now
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find Mom's age
\n" ); document.write( "m = 8 + 33
\n" ); document.write( "m = 41 yrs old
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"In 3 years her age will be twice the combined ages of the twins.\"
\n" ); document.write( "41 + 3 = 2(2(8+3))
\n" ); document.write( "44 = 2(22)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
