\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of years ago when Angie was as old as Rob is now. Then...

\n" ); document.write( "Rob's age now is 21; his age x years ago was 21-x.
\n" ); document.write( "Angie's age now is 2(21-x) = 42-2x. (she is twice as old as Rob was x years ago)
\n" ); document.write( "So Angie's age x years ago was 42-3x.

\n" ); document.write( "But Angie's age then is equal to Rob's age now:
\n" ); document.write( "\"42-3x+=+21\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"21+=+3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+7\"

\n" ); document.write( "Angie's current age is 42-2x = 42-14 = 28.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
