Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Ryan = x
\n" ); document.write( "so,Aaron= x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Ryan's age + Aaron's age = 27 years
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 5) = 27
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 5 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 5 - 5 = 27 - 5 Five off both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 22
\n" ); document.write( "x = 22/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11.
\n" ); document.write( "Ryan = 11 years old
\n" ); document.write( "Aaron = 16 years old
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
