document.write( "11 years ago, the sum of their ages was  82 - 2*11 = 60 years, and Jake was 3 times Marian's age.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, 11 years ago Marian was 60:4 = 15 years and Jake was 3*15 = 45 years old.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, now Marian is 15+11 = 26 years old;  Jake is 45+11 = 56 years old.    ANSWER\r\n" );
