The problem description might not be written correctly for the given total age of 18 years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If Katie were \"five times as old as\" sal, then this would mean,
\n" ); document.write( "Katie is 5A and sal is A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5A%2BA=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6A=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=3\"----------\"sal a\" would be 3 years old, now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Continuing this way, Katie NOW, is 15 years old and \"sal a\", 3 years old;
\n" ); document.write( "In x years:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2Bx=2%283%2Bx%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2Bx=6%2B2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12=x\"----------In 12 years, Katie is two times \"sal a\" age.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "That would make Katie aged 30 and \"sal a\" aged 15.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
