Write an equation for each statement; j = Ramjan; z = Ramzan
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Ramjan's father is 8 times the age of Ramzan.
\n" ); document.write( "j = 8z
\n" ); document.write( " After 2 years, father will be 2 years less than 6 times Ranjan's age.
\n" ); document.write( "j + 2 = 6(z+2) - 2
\n" ); document.write( "j + 2 = 6z + 12 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "j = 6z + 10 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "j = 6z + 8
\n" ); document.write( "replace j with 8z, from the first statement
\n" ); document.write( "8z = 6z + 8
\n" ); document.write( "8z - 6z = 8
\n" ); document.write( "2z = 8
\n" ); document.write( "z = 4 yrs is Ramzan's age
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "8*4 = 32 yrs is Ramjan's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"After 2 years, father will be 2 years less than 6 times Ranjan's age.\"
\n" ); document.write( "32 + 2 = 6(4 + 2) - 2
\n" ); document.write( "34 = 6(6) - 2 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
