\n" ); document.write( "j = e + 26
\n" ); document.write( " who is 37 years younger than Ray.
\n" ); document.write( "e = r - 37
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "r = e + 37
\n" ); document.write( " In how many years will Jane be the same age as Ray is now?
\n" ); document.write( "let y = no. years for this to be true
\n" ); document.write( "j + y = r
\n" ); document.write( "replace j with (e+26); replace r with (e+37)
\n" ); document.write( "e+26 + y = e + 37
\n" ); document.write( "subtract e from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "26 + y = 37
\n" ); document.write( "y = 37 - 26
\n" ); document.write( " y = 11 years, Jane will be the same age as Ray is now
