Let Henry's age = $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+\"$ = Gorge's age
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+3+\"$ = Henry's age in 3 yrs
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+%2B+3+\"$ = Gorge's age in 3 yrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+3+%2B+4x+%2B+3+=+86+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+%2B+6+=+86+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+=+80+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Henry is 16
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+=+4%2A16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+=+64+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+3+%2B+64+%2B+3+=+86+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+70+=+86+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
