Let $\"+x+\"$ = Jamie's age now
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+5+\"$ = Jamie's age 5 yrs ago
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+x+-+5+%29+\"$ = Ana's age five yrs ago
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+x+-+5+%29+%2B+5+\"$ = Ana's age now
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+15+\"$ = Jamie's age in 15 yrs
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+15+=+2%2A%28+x+-+5+%29+%2B+5+-+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+15+=+2x+-+10+%2B+5+-+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+15+=+2x+-+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+30+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Jamie is 30 now
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Five yrs ago Jamie was 25
\n" ); document.write( "Five yrs ago Ana was 50
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In fifteen yrs, Jamie will be 25 + 5 + 15 = 45
\n" ); document.write( "Ten yrs ago, Ana was 50 - 5 = 45
\n" ); document.write( "This checks, Jamie is 30 now
\n" ); document.write( "OK\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
