Kelly's age plus her father's age is 32 years.
\n" ); document.write( "k + f = 32
\n" ); document.write( " In 12 years, Kelly will be one-third as old as her father.
\n" ); document.write( "k + 12 = \"1%2F3\"(f+12)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "3(k+12) = f + 12
\n" ); document.write( "3k + 36 = f + 12
\n" ); document.write( "3k + 36 - 12 = f
\n" ); document.write( "3k + 24 = f
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Find her age now.
\n" ); document.write( "In the first equation replace f with (3k+24)
\n" ); document.write( "k + (3k+24) = 32
\n" ); document.write( "4k = 32 - 24
\n" ); document.write( "4k = 8
\n" ); document.write( "k = 8/4
\n" ); document.write( "k = 2 yrs is Kelly's age
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "f = 3(2) + 24)
\n" ); document.write( "f = 30 yrs is father's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"In 12 years, Kelly will be one-third as old as her father.\"
\n" ); document.write( "2 + 12 = \"1%2F3\"(30 + 12)
\n" ); document.write( "14 = \"1%2F3\"(42) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
