The ratio of the ages of two sisters is 4:3 ,
\n" ); document.write( " the younget sister is three years older than the younger one .
\n" ); document.write( " how old is the younger sister
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "4x = the age of the older sister
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "3x = the age of the younger
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the youngest sister is three years older than the younger one\"
\n" ); document.write( "this really does not make sense, assume it is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"the oldest sister is three years older than the younger one\"
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 3x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "4x - 3x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 is the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "4(3) = 12 yrs is the older sister
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "3(3) = 9 yrs is the younger sister\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
