\n" ); document.write( "x = Robert's age
\n" ); document.write( "y = his father's age
\n" ); document.write( "70 = his grandfather's age

\n" ); document.write( "(1) His grandfather's age, 70, is 4 less than twice his father's age:

\n" ); document.write( "\"70+=+2y-4\"

\n" ); document.write( "Solve to find his father's age, y.

\n" ); document.write( "(2) Robert's father is 7 years older than twice his age.

\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+2x%2B7\"

\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of y found in step (1) and solve to find Robert's age.
