\n" ); document.write( "m - 7 = 11(d-7)
\n" ); document.write( "m - 7 = 11d - 77
\n" ); document.write( "m = 11d - 77 + 7
\n" ); document.write( "m = 11d - 70
\n" ); document.write( " Now she is four times as old as her daughter.
\n" ); document.write( "m = 4d
\n" ); document.write( "replace m with 4d in the first equation
\n" ); document.write( "4d = 11d - 70
\n" ); document.write( "70 = 11d - 4d
\n" ); document.write( "70 = 7d
\n" ); document.write( "d = 70/7
\n" ); document.write( "d = 10 yrs is daughter's age
