if 6 is added to 2 less than 9 times Marge's age, the result is 40. How old is Marge.
\n" ); document.write( "Marge's age is your variable;
\n" ); document.write( "x=Marge's age
\n" ); document.write( "6+9x-2=40
\n" ); document.write( "9x+4=40
\n" ); document.write( "9x=36
\n" ); document.write( "x=4
\n" ); document.write( "So Marge's age is 4
\n" ); document.write( ":)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
