\n" ); document.write( "Sara is 7 years older than Sushil. June is 4 years younger than Sushil. If the total of their ages is 87, how old is the eldest of them?
\n" ); document.write( "
It's quite obvious from reading this that Sara is the eldest
\n" ); document.write( "Let Sara's age be S
\n" ); document.write( "Then Sushil's is S - 7, and June's is: S - 7 - 4, or S - 11
\n" ); document.write( "We then get: S + S - 7 + S - 11 = 87
\n" ); document.write( "3S - 18 = 87
\n" ); document.write( "3S = 105
\n" ); document.write( "Sara, or \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
