1) Ben + Dan = 53
\n" ); document.write( "and Ben = D-3, therefore D + D-3 = 53
\n" ); document.write( "Now let's solve for D:
\n" ); document.write( "2D = 50
\n" ); document.write( "D = 25
\n" ); document.write( "Dan is 25 and Ben is 25-3 = 22
\n" ); document.write( "***************************************
\n" ); document.write( "2) man = 3s - 2
\n" ); document.write( "and m + s = 46 substitute for man
\n" ); document.write( "3s - 2 + s = 46
\n" ); document.write( "4s = 44
\n" ); document.write( "s = 11 the son is 11, and the man is 3s-2 = 33-2 = 31
\n" ); document.write( ".
