\n" ); document.write( "let s = Sean's present age
\n" ); document.write( "let d = (96-s), the difference in their ages
\n" ); document.write( "2(s - d) = 96
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "s - d = 48
\n" ); document.write( "replace d with (96-s)
\n" ); document.write( "s-(96-s) = 48
\n" ); document.write( "s - 96 + s = 48
\n" ); document.write( "2s = 48 + 96
\n" ); document.write( "2s = 144
\n" ); document.write( "s = 144/2
