\n" ); document.write( "Gorge is 4 times as old as Henry in 3 years the sum of their ages will be 86 how old is Henry \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In 3 years, their ages sum to 86, so now the ages sum to 86 - 2(3), or 80
\n" ); document.write( "

Let Henry's age be H
\n" );
document.write( "Then Gorge, or is it George, is 4H
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: H + 4H = 80
\n" );
document.write( "5H = 80
\n" );
document.write( "Henry or  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
