\n" ); document.write( "The information compares both Ginger's age and the professor's age to Maryann's age, so use Maryann's age as your \"starting point\":

\n" ); document.write( "x = Maryann's age
\n" ); document.write( "x+5 = Ginger's age
\n" ); document.write( "3x-7 = professors' age

\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their ages is 98:

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx%2B5%2B3x-7=98\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=105\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=21\"

\n" ); document.write( "You can finish from there....
