\n" ); document.write( "Given the ratio of their ages as 5:2...

\n" ); document.write( "Let 5x = Kim's age
\n" ); document.write( "Let 2x = daughter's age

\n" ); document.write( "4 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 3:1.

\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x-4%29%2F%282x-4%29+=+3%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-4+=+6x-12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8\"

\n" ); document.write( "Kim's age is 5x=40; her daughter's age is 16.

\n" ); document.write( "Kim's age 6 years from now will be 40+6=46.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 46
