document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From combined age of 137 years first subtract 70 years and then subtract 31 year.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then divide the result by 3 to get Jim's age as 12 years.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the father's age is 12 + 31 = 43  and the grandfather's age is 12 + 70 = 82 years.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.  12 + 43 + 82 = 137.    ! Correct !\r\n" );
