\n" ); document.write( "Noah is 8years older than Emma . In 2years the sum of their ages will be 72 . How old is Noah now
\n" ); document.write( "

Let Noah's age be N
\n" );
document.write( "Then Emma's is N - 8
\n" );
document.write( "If the sum of their ages will be 72 in 2 years' time, then the sum of their ages is: 72 - 2(2) = 68
\n" );
document.write( "We now get: N + N - 8 = 68
\n" );
document.write( "2N = 76
\n" );
document.write( "N, or Noah is:  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
