document.write( "Let x be the Devin's age 7 tears ago.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Jamie's age 7 years ago was 4x, according to the condition,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "and we are given additionally that\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    4x - x = 51.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x = 51, \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     x = 51/3 = 17.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus 7 years ago Devin was 17 years old.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  Devin is 17+7 = 24 years old now.\r\n" );
