Unless requested to form an equation or equations, all you need to do is find 2 factors of 234 that differ by 5. \r\n" );
document.write( "These are 18 and 13, so the older, Carla, is 18, and the younger, Julie, is 13.\r\n" );
document.write( "That's all!!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If you're having problems finding these factors, then forming a quadratic equation, and solving this quadratic,\r\n" );
document.write( "using the quadratic equation formula, will be another \"route\" to take.
