m = mother's present age
\n" ); document.write( "w = Wendy's present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "wendy's mother is three times as old as wendy,
\n" ); document.write( "m = 3w
\n" ); document.write( "and in 14 years, she will be twice as old as wendy will be then.
\n" ); document.write( "m + 14 = 2(w+14)
\n" ); document.write( "m + 14 = 2w + 28
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2w + 28 - 14
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2w + 14
\n" ); document.write( "replace m with (3w), from the 1st statement
\n" ); document.write( "3w = 2w + 14
\n" ); document.write( "3w - 2w = 14
\n" ); document.write( "w = 14 yrs is Wendy's present age
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3(14) = 42 yrs is Mom's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " How old will they be 7 years from now? I'll let you figure this out \n" ); document.write( "
