\r\n" );
document.write( "Let X be the Diana's age 12 years ago.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the Evan's age 12 years ago was 2x years, according to the condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Their present ages are (x+12) and (2x+12), and the sum of their present ages is \r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    (x+12) + (2x + 12) = 60.\r\n" );

document.write( "So, Dianas's age 12 years ago was 12 years; Evans age 12 years ago was 24 years.\r\n" );

\r\n" );
document.write( "12 years ago, Evans age was 2 times Diana's age, and the sum of their ages at that time was 60-12-12 = 36 years.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the Diana's age 12 years ago was  \"1%2F3\"  of 36 years, i.e. 12 years.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Evean's age at that time was 24 years, and now Evance age is 24+12 = 36 years.    (the same answer)\r\n" );
