\n" );
document.write( "There are two (2) sisters so one is the YOUNGER sister and the other is the OLDER sister.
\n" );
document.write( "Let MULTIPLICATIVE FACTOR be x
\n" );
document.write( "Then younger sister is 3x and older sister is 4x
\n" );
document.write( "As the YOUNGER is 3 years YOUNGER, we get: 3x = 4x - 3
\n" );
document.write( "3x - 4x = - 3
\n" );
document.write( "- x = - 3
\n" );
document.write( "x, or MULTIPLICATIVE factor = 
\n" );
document.write( "Younger sister, or  \n" );
