You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let d = Duncan's present age
\n" ); document.write( "let t = Tracey's age
\n" ); document.write( "let L = Lewis's
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "duncan is 4 times older than tracey
\n" ); document.write( "d = 4t
\n" ); document.write( "and tracey is 5 years older than lewis
\n" ); document.write( "t = L + 5
\n" ); document.write( " what is there ages
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can see there is no way to solve this, you have 3 unknowns and only two equations!
\n" ); document.write( "But
\n" ); document.write( "You can assume that d is a multiple of 4, and t has to be greater than 5
\n" ); document.write( "let's say t=6
\n" ); document.write( "then d=24
\n" ); document.write( "and L=1
\n" ); document.write( "Tracy's 6, Duncan is 24, and Lewis is 1, is a possibility \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
