Randy is four times as old as Kenneth
\n" ); document.write( " r = 4k
\n" ); document.write( " and Randy is 36 years older than Kenneth
\n" ); document.write( " r = k + 36
\n" ); document.write( "how old is Randy and Kenneth
\n" ); document.write( " Replace r with 4k in the 2nd equation (from the 1st equation)
\n" ); document.write( "4k = k + 36
\n" ); document.write( "4k - k = 36
\n" ); document.write( "3k = 36
\n" ); document.write( "k = 36/3
\n" ); document.write( "k = 12 yrs is Kenneth's age
\n" ); document.write( "then obviously
\n" ); document.write( "r = 4*12
\n" ); document.write( "r = 48 yrs is Randy's age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check in the 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( "48 = 12 + 36
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
