let Mr. Micklow's age be x years
\n" ); document.write( " and Mrs. Craft's age be y years\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of Mr. Micklow and Mrs. Craft's age is 55.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So x+y =55
\n" ); document.write( " The difference of their age is 3. What are their ages?
\n" ); document.write( "x-y =3
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "we get 2x = 58
\n" ); document.write( "x= 58/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=29
\n" ); document.write( "substitute x
\n" ); document.write( "in x+y =54
\n" ); document.write( "29+y =55
\n" ); document.write( "y= 26
\n" ); document.write( "Mr. Micklow's age 29 years
\n" ); document.write( " and Mrs. Craft's age 26 years\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
