document.write( "Let Hannah be H years old.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Yanira is 2H years old        ( \"Yanira is twice as old as Hannah\")\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "and Tim is (2H-3) years old,       \"Yanira is 3 years older than Tim\")\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "according to the condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Also, from the last condition you have this equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2H-3 = H + 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify and solve for H:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    H = 2 + 3\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    H = 5.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  Hannah is 5 years old;  Yanira is 2*5 = 10 years old;  Tim is 2*5-3 = 7 years old.\r\n" );
