document.write( "Let Dianne's age is x years now.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Josie's age is 3x years, according to the condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Also, from the condition\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x-6 = 5*(x-6).        ( <<<---===  6 years ago . . . )\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "All you need is to solve this equation.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x - 6 = 5x - 30\r\n" );
