\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let Harry’s age be \"x\" and Louise’s age be \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Harry is \"3\" times as old as Louise was when Harry was as old as Louise is now. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when Harry was as old as Louise is now->means Harry was \"y\" years old\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and now is \"3\" times as old as Louise-> \"x=3y\"...........eq.1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When Louise is as old as Harry is now, ->\"3y\" they will be \"28\" together. ->\"3y%2By=28\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=28\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=7\"\r
