ashley's mother is 58.
\n" ); document.write( "her mother is 8 years younger than twice ashley's age.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let a = ashley's age.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula for her mother being 8 years younger than twice ashley's age is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "58 = 2a - 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add 8 to both sides of this equation to get 58 + 8 = 2a
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get 66 = 2a
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get 33 = a\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's ashley's age.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "58 = 8 years younger than 2 times 33 which is equal to 8 years younger than 66 which is equal to 58 which is true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution is that ashley is 33 years old.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
