\n" ); document.write( "x = number of years
\n" ); document.write( "14 = pam's current age
\n" ); document.write( "14+x = pam's future age
\n" ); document.write( "37 = her dad's current age
\n" ); document.write( "37+x = her dad's future age\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We're looking to see when her dad will be exactly twice as old as she will be.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "her dad's future age = 2*(pam's future age)
\n" ); document.write( "37+x = 2*(14+x)
\n" ); document.write( "37+x = 28+2x
\n" ); document.write( "x-2x = 28-37
\n" ); document.write( "-x = -9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "In 9 years, her dad will be twice her age.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pam: 14+x = 14+9 = 23
\n" ); document.write( "her dad: 37+x = 37+9 = 46
\n" ); document.write( "46/23 = 2 shows that he will be twice her age by this point, and the answer is confirmed.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Equation: 37+x = 2(14+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 9 years
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
