\n" ); document.write( "let the father's age be \"x\" and the son's age \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "father's age in \"3\" years will be \"x%2B3\"
\n" ); document.write( "the son's age \"4\" years ago was \"y-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the father's age in \"3\" years will be \"twice\" the son's age \"4\" years ago, we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B3=2%28y-4%29\"....solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2y-8-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2y-11\"........eq.1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and if the sum of their ages now is \"106\", then \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=106\"...solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=106-y\".........eq.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from eq.1 and eq.2 we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y-11=106-y\"...solve for \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y%2By=106%2B11\"\r
