\n" ); document.write( "x = Josh's age
\n" ); document.write( "4x+5 = Nate's age (5 more than 4 times Josh's age)

\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their ages is 100:

\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+%284x%2B5%29+=+100\"

\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x using basic algebra.

\n" ); document.write( "Then use that value of x to find each boy's age.
