\n" ); document.write( "b = s + 2
\n" ); document.write( " Their ages added up is 73
\n" ); document.write( "f + m + b + s = 73
\n" ); document.write( " Four years ago their ages added up to 58
\n" ); document.write( "(f-4) + (m-4) + (b-4) + (s-4) = 58
\n" ); document.write( "f + m + b + s - 16 = 58
\n" ); document.write( "f + m + b + s = 58 + 16
\n" ); document.write( "f + m + b + s = 74
